Name and Password

I shut down my MacBook and it asked me for a name and password, but I don’t know what my name could be, so how do I find out?

MacBook Air 13″, 13.4

Name and password My dad purchased an iMac refurbished from Kogan and it's asking for a name and password when we turn it on, but we don't know what it is and no matter how many times I've reset or reboot it and it still just goes back to that screen asking for a name and password We have emailed the company with no reply.
