OS user does not have OS permissions to write OS file "Pass1/hr_main.log"

Does directory "Pass1" now exist?
Does OS user have write permission into "Pass1" directory?

SP2-00606: Cannot create %s file \"%s\"\n
 *Cause:  The STORE or SPOOL command was unable to create the specified
          file. There may be insufficient disk space, too many open
          files, or read-only protection on the output directory.
 *Action:Check that there is sufficient disk space and that the
          protection on the directory allows file creation.

What file are you running? The hr_main.sql file in the db-sample-schemas-18c.zip that you should have downloaded from Github gives you two more prompts before enabling spooling. From the top of the file:
PROMPT 
PROMPT specify password for HR as parameter 1:
DEFINE pass     = &1
PROMPT 
PROMPT specify default tablespeace for HR as parameter 2:
DEFINE tbs      = &2
PROMPT 
PROMPT specify temporary tablespace for HR as parameter 3:
DEFINE ttbs     = &3
PROMPT 
PROMPT specify password for SYS as parameter 4:
DEFINE pass_sys = &4
PROMPT 
PROMPT specify log path as parameter 5:
DEFINE log_path = &5
PROMPT
PROMPT specify connect string as parameter 6:
DEFINE connect_string     = &6
PROMPT

-- The first dot in the spool command below is 
-- the SQL*Plus concatenation character

DEFINE spool_file = &log_path.hr_main.log
SPOOL &spool_file
