How can I know my username

In your case, from your picture, your username will be the 'Current User' username that you have highlighted to the right in the System Preferences box. That should help. It looks like your username starts with MacBook from the picture. I hope that answers your question!

The dialog is asking for the user name and password for "administrator" account, but your account is somehow set to "Standard" account, and there is no other administrator account as I can see in the screenshot.
So, try this to create new administrator account, then change your account back to administrator.
Now you should be able to do the task you wanted as wrote in the original post.
You can delete the administrator account just created if you confirmed the fix.
However, you can keep it for the accident in future like this case.
In your Users and Groups Systems Preferences pane (the one you were on in the photograph), your username should be the option that was highlighted in your photo to the left (I said 'right' earlier and that was incorrect 😉). Use that username when you try to sign in on the User Name in the dialog box. If that does not work, then you will probably need to add back an administrator account (see this thread) or take it into an Apple Store so that you can get assistance. I hope that helps!
Ok, the username of your account is whatever you usually use to log into your computer. What is the name at the top of the screen when you sign in? If that username doesn't work, then, as Kappy pointed out, you apparently don't have the authority to make the change since you are not the administrator of your computer.
I tried MacBook macbookpro current user Standard nothing helped
Will it help to recover username if I reset my Macbook totally by pressing Command + R ?
Thank you answering! Usually my Username was MacBook Pro, and then I changed it but I I made a big mistake!! Can I retake the authority over my MacBook? (I don't know the username)
Look at your stored account: /HDD/Users/user_name/. You can change it but it's not that easy. Change the name of your macOS user account and home folder - Apple Support. Now, it appears your account is Standard which means you may not have authority to make the change. Then you need the Admin user to make the change. It does not appear there is an Admin account.
