You may want to start by reviewing http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/create.htm#sthref483

Host is the physical computer, machine, operating system ... but not the database.

So in general, 'Host Login Credentials' means 'what is the computer username and password (not database user/pwd) of the user who is to login on the host (machine) in order to do the work?'

In this case, it's probably the userid that owns Oracle .... surely you did not install the database as 'Administrator'.
