Try just hitting the 'Enter' key at both:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD#Logging_in

I'd also recommend running the check cd & memtest options at the start menu:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDBootOptions

On other versions I seem to recall folks getting this prompt when they
didn't have enough memory or needed to set boot options due to other
hardware issues.

Also be sure to check the release notes:
