   I think that means that you used a Google account you already had, or   
   created a new one, when you set up your Android device - and that you   
   have forgotten or never noticed the user-name and password that you must   
   have used in order to create or access that account.  You can use your   
   device without knowing the user-name and password of the Google account;   
   you only need those if you want to make changes to that account (such as   
   add or remove an Android device from it).
