Hello Cynvilo and welcome to Apple Support Communities. It appears you are having some difficulty setting up a new Mac.


When something like this gets stuck during setup it's most often what referred to as a cosmetic issue. The process should not take more than a few minutes. Try forcing the Mac to shut down by pressing and holding the Power button/key and once the Mac has shut down, wait 10 seconds and then restart normally.


Cheers.
