The simplest thin is to change that now.

Those attempts happen if a server software (like SSH, Telnet, rlogin)
is running on you machine and reachable from the Internet.
The IPv4 address range can be iterated easily (only 4 billion
addresses) and the ports too.

As long as it isn't connected to a network or running any services
reachable from the outside, there is no danger.
I recommend choosing a good password anyway because if you intent to
have remote access in the future, you might forget to choose long
passwords for ALL users.
