I'm unfamiliar with solo mining so I'll just say what I know about pooled mining: You have to create a "Worker" name and password on the pool's website before you're able to mine. The name and password for the worker are what you should enter in GUIMiner.

You might want to check some guides and instruction on bitcoin.it regarding mining, I think they are asking for your pool's username/password. You also need the order and pool's Address.
