When you first launch Tails, you'll get a prompt: Welcome to Tails  More Options? 

Click on the Yes button, so that a green checkmark appears therein, then click Forward.

You will then be prompted for a root (Administrator) password.  Whatever you typed in as the root password is what you'll enter when prompted when changing your MAC address.
