Here I connected my PC with my live account, so I have to enter my id and password. After that it shows certificate, just click on "Don't ask again". And connect. 

2# . Now the other and complex thing is, if you don't connected your PC/desktop with live ID, then you have to specify your domain\user name. Here I found how to know your domain\user name. Go to search, type '"account". You can see "Configure advance user profile properties". Click on it and you can see user profiles.
