Cannot open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory.

When I setup Linux Mint to secure boot, the Vmware Workstation Pro 17.0.0 is unable to boot the Linux guest. I get the following error:

"Cannot open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory. Please make sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded"

There is a Vmware document that describes the solution located here: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2146460

The problem is that I don't understand how the use this solution. My questions are as follows:

A) In step one I'm required to make a key pair. Am I supposed to rename the MOK.priv and MOK.der in the command line?

B) Do I also rename MOK.priv and MOK.der in step two?

C) In step two, how do I confirm a password for this MOK enrollment request? What password do I use?

Please excuse the weird font problems of this post.
