it will ask for wallet password for creating wallet , put your wallet password. If you dont see anything on screen don't worry power shell/command promt dont show you pass for  security reason. Save your recovery seed. Congratulation you did everything okay , LND is now running. It will take some to sync with bitcoin core.
What wallet? Aside from the configurations and Bitcoin core, any extra wallet in use?

Using pruned node

Well our goal is to create a LND node for Lightning Network so yes , we are creating a wallet. It will be diff from Bitcoin core. As long as I know, lightning network uses offline txn structure.
Code:
lncli create
We use this for creating the wallet first. After it asks you to give the lassword , it will ask you if you wants to create any new wallet or import previous one. If you're new then pren "n" it will generate your seed phrase. Keep this safe .

After that , everytime you wanna start LND just simply unlock it via
Code:
lncli unlock
command
