How to fix these error:
SP2-0606: Cannot create SPOOL file
ORA-01918: user 'HR' does not exist
ORA-65096: invalid common user or role name

Answer 1

The easy ones first:
ORA-01918: user 'HR' does not exist
The script starts with a precautionary drop user statement. You haven't run the script before so there is no HR user to drop. Hence the message. You can ignore it.
ORA-65096: invalid common user or role name
You have given an invalid password: Enter value for 1: 123456. For whatever reasons Oracle passwords follow similar rules to object names, which means the password must start with a letter - unless it's wrapped in double-quotes.
Now this is a trickier issue:
SP2-0606: Cannot create SPOOL file
So, does directory C:\vy exist? Does your user have write access to it?

Answer 2

I had same issue.
You need create HR user before runnig "hr_main.sql". Follow next steps::
SQL> connect sys as sysdba
Enter password:
Connected.
SQL> create user HR identified by oracle;
User created.
SQL> #?/demo/schema/human_resources/hr_main.sql
and next step as in guide:
