UEFI Secure Boot

While installing Ubuntu 18.04 from 16.04 from an update offer,
I received the following message:
''UEFI Secure Boot requires additional configuration to work with
third-party drivers. The system will assist you in configuring
UEFI Secure boot. To permit the use of third-party drivers a new
Machine-Other Key (MOK) has been generated. This key now needs to
be enrolled in your system firmware. To ensure that this change
is being made by you as an authorized user, and not by an attacker,
you must choose a password now and confirm the change after reboot
using the same password, in both the ''Enroll MOK'' and ''Change
Secure Boot State'' menus that will be presented to you when this
system reboots. If you proceed but do not confirm the password upon
reboot, Ubuntu will still be able to boot on your system but any
hardware that requires third-party drivers to work correctly
may not be usable.''
After providing my password, however, I do not seem to have had
the option of confirming the password ''in both Enroll MOK and
Change Secure Boot State'' during or after the reboot. How
can I ensure that everything is going to work correctly or
do I have an option of returning the reboot to the stage
for confirming the password if I missed this opportunity?
