Unknown device requiring password to fix iCloud Data Syncing issue

I am getting the message in icloud settings "Some iCloud Data Isn't Syncing". When I click to resolve and put in my apple account password, it brings up a screen to enter the password you use to unlock the mac "skijay-I5", but I have no device named that nor did I ever have that name for a device. I was wondering if entering my password for my mac where I'm having this issue should be entered, but I don't want to corrupt anything or screw the data is some manner. Any suggestions?
