@PitaJ Thanks or the reply! I really need help.

Here is where it is located. C:\MongoDB.

Here is what it has:

systemLog:
    destination: file
    path: C:\MongoDB\logs\mongod.log
storage:
    dbPath: C:\MongoDB\data\db
security:
  authorization: enabled

Hello,

I'm following the Windows tutorial with this link
https://docs.nodebb.org/installing/os/windows/#system-requirements

Everything was working smoothly until I got to this step

mongo -u admin -p your_password --authenticationDatabase=admin

MongoDB shell version v4.4.1
connecting to: mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/?authSource=admin&compressors=disabled&gssapiServiceName=mongodb
Error: Authentication failed. :
connect@src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:374:17
@(connect):2:6

This is the error I got even though I put in the right password.

Command I ran:

C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.4\bin>mongo -u admin -p ojorocks --authenticationDatabase=admin

When I press show users in admin this is the output

> show users
{
        "_id" : "admin.admin",
        "userId" : UUID("e3c3df1d-f63d-48e3-ae65-b9cf03c86333"),
        "user" : "admin",
        "db" : "admin",
        "roles" : [
                {
                        "role" : "root",
                        "db" : "admin"
                }
        ],
        "mechanisms" : [
                "SCRAM-SHA-1",
                "SCRAM-SHA-256"
        ]
}
{
        "_id" : "admin.admin2",
        "userId" : UUID("0b87390b-2c08-4e21-9183-8a2406a9304e"),
        "user" : "admin2",
        "db" : "admin",
        "roles" : [
                {
                        "role" : "root",
                        "db" : "admin"
                }
        ],
        "mechanisms" : [
                "SCRAM-SHA-1",
                "SCRAM-SHA-256"
        ]
}

I am truly confused did I miss something? I even created an extra admin acct and it didnt work for that either.
