Migration assistant concern

I didn’t get a prompt to create an admin password on my new Mac and the files are transferring at the moment….will I have an issue when the transfer is completed when continuing the set up?

No, you shouldn't. If you create an admin account before hand and then migrate your user data from a TM backup or from the other Mac you'll end up with two accounts. Since you didn't the user account should transfer.from the TM backup or other Mac as they were on the old Mac.
