Two applications, "Final Video Player" and "Eimedia Video Player", appeared on my computer without me knowingly installing them. "Final Video Player" also set itself as the default. Does anyone know how this might of happened. Also, if I try to delete either of these a box opens requesting my pass word. I don't remember ever having to enter a pass word to delete a file, so I am hesitant to enter it.

Nothing gets installed on a Mac without providing its Administrator credentials. If you are not that Mac's only user, ask its other users about it.
If you are that Mac's only user, and you have no recollection of having installed those apps, then you may have been deceived into installing them. Read Effective defenses against malware and other threats - Apple Community.
It is normal to ask for Admin authentication before uninstalling apps installed in a Mac's Applications folder — the same authentication is required for installing them.

Apps don't install themselves; that takes user intervention. Another use or someone using your ID did the deed. That our you got into some pretty sophisticated malware.
Did you do an update on your computer. I installed an update and now I have this app on my computer
Final Video Player installed itself
