MongoDB error "not authorised on admin" - mongodb

I know this is a very common question for MongoDB, but I really tried most of the answers, but could not solve this issue.
So I feel I'm missing something Somewhere
Here are the steps:
Downloaded latest version 3.03 of MongoDB.
Custom installed to f:\MEAN\MongoDB.
F:\MEAN>sc.exe create MongoDBSvc binPath= "\"F:\mean\mongodb
\bin\mongod.exe\" -- service --config=\"F:\MEAN\MongoDBData\log\1.cfg\""
DisplayName= "MongoDBSvc" start= "auto"
[SC] CreateService SUCCESS
F:\MEAN>net start MongoDbSvc
The MongoDBSvc service is starting.
The MongoDBSvc service was started successfully.

Please help.
EDIT: This db is created through mongoose/express, from another container.
first you need to authorize db with user, below is example command
use admin;
db.auth('admin','password');
then your able to run all querys. or start mongod without --auth parameter so you no need user authentication.

Installing Mongodb in Kubernetes using Helm

I installed mongodb using Helm in my Kubernetes cluster.
https://github.com/kubernetes/charts/tree/master/stable/mongodb
It works fine and lets me connect to the db. But I cannot do any operation once I log into the mongo server. Here is the error I get when I try to see the collections.

I am logging in as the root user using
mongo -p password
I don't know why even the root user has no authorization to do anything.
I found the issue. By default, MongoDB uses the admin DB to authenticate but in the helm chart, the authentication DB is the same as the DB that you create with it. So If I create a DB called test, the authentication DB will also be test

windows 10 mongodb "show dbs" "missing ; before statement"

yes I just started to understand MongoDB. Therefore I have installed MongoDB in the folder "Program files" yesterday and tryed to figure out, how to work with it.
Today I simply tryed to start it again. But something went wrong. To understand the beginning better I deinstalled MongoDB, deleted the MongoDB, data, log folders and have installed MongoDB again direct on c:/.
Started the server:
mongod --directoryperdb --dbpath c:\mongodb\data\db --logpath c:\mongodb\log\mongo.log --logappend --auth --rest --install
Started the service:
net start MongoDB
And the Mongo shell:
mongo
Now I try "show dbs" with the following result:
>show dbs

More I haven't done already. What can I do to show the dbs?
Of cource, I have tryed the learnings of the following post to, without success:
show dbs gives "Not Authorized to execute command" error
Looks like you are starting the db with --auth but not connecting with username/password. If you have not created any user then remove --auth and restart db. Then you will be able to connect.

Mongo java driver authentication not working properly

I am trying to access mongodb from java using mongo java driver 3.4. I wrote below code to access mongodb and even though I entered wrong credentials while connecting I am able to access my database.
MongoCredential credential = MongoCredential.createScramSha1Credential("rupesh_user", "rupesh_db",
"admin123".toCharArray());
MongoClient mongoClient= new MongoClient( new ServerAddress( "localhost", 27017 ), Arrays.asList(credential));

How to interact with MongoDB via shell in OpenShift Online 3 Dev Preview?

I've got multiple issues with an application which I suspect are related to permissions on the database.
Everything seems locked down however and I can't complete basic commands such as show dbs in order to troubleshoot the problems further and "see" what I'm working with. I've been stuck on this for two days now and it's really frustrating.
I've tried this both from the online console and on local terminal, both with and without user credentials supplied at login:
Online Console
Console > MongoDB Service > Deployment > Pod > mongodb-1-vs19d > Terminal:
sh-4.2$ mongo
MongoDB shell version: 2.6.9
connecting to: test
> show dbs
2016-07-13T04:33:10.809-0400 listDatabases failed:{
"ok" : 0,
"errmsg" : "not authorized on admin to execute command { listDatabases:
1.0 }",
"code" : 13
} at src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:47
Local Terminal
me#my-computer:~$ oc rsh mongodb-1-vs19d
sh-4.2$ mongo
MongoDB shell version: 2.6.9
connecting to: test
> show dbs
2016-07-13T04:35:06.449-0400 listDatabases failed:{
"ok" : 0,
"errmsg" : "not authorized on admin to execute command { listDatabases: 1.0 }",
"code" : 13
} at src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:47
Local Terminal With User Credentials
me#my-computer:~$ oc rsh mongodb-1-vs19d
sh-4.2$ mongo -u $MONGODB_USER -p $MONGODB_PASSWORD $MONGODB_DATABASE
MongoDB shell version: 2.6.9
connecting to: users
> show dbs
2016-07-13T04:51:39.127-0400 listDatabases failed:{
"ok" : 0,
"errmsg" : "not authorized on admin to execute command { listDatabases: 1.0 }",
"code" : 13
} at src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:47
Troubleshooting envars are correct:
me#my-computer:~$ oc env pods mongodb-1-vs19d --list
# pods mongodb-1-vs19d, container mongodb
MONGODB_USER=admin
MONGODB_PASSWORD=secret
MONGODB_DATABASE=users
MONGODB_ADMIN_PASSWORD=very-secret
The database was created from local terminal with:
oc new-app mongodb-persistent -p MONGODB_USER=admin,MONGODB_PASSWORD=secret,MONGODB_ADMIN_PASSWORD=very-secret
As per official docs:
https://docs.openshift.com/online/getting_started/beyond_the_basics.html#btb-provisioning-a-database
https://docs.openshift.com/online/using_images/db_images/mongodb.html#running-mongodb-commands-in-containers
It looks like you're trying to show dbs as user who has not been granted the needed role. You can try authenticating yourself as admin as follows:
mongo -u admin -p $MONGODB_ADMIN_PASSWORD admin
Then you should be able to show dbs, show users, use other databases and show users there, etc...
It's a bit confusing that your $MONGODB_USER is named admin - this regular user will have access to the $MONGODB_DATABASE. Another admin has been created by the used image most likely as well.
