What password is it asking for? Vmware asks for password to update Vmware tools but what password?

I have Vmware running Windows 7 in a Linux machine (Linux Mint 19.1 MATE, Tessa (Ubuntu; bionic). 

When the virtual Windows starts it keeps asking me to update Vmware Tools which I would like to do but to do so it asks for a password.

What password?

My Linux root password does not work.

My Win 7 password does not work.

My password for The Vmware site does not work.

What password is it asking for!

"VMware" is the name of a company, not a product. What product are you running here?
