MongoServerError: bad auth : authentication failed

Hi, I purchased the [NodeJS Express MongoDB Course With Real World Projects 2022] course from Udemy, an when I download and open the project according to the video, I get the follow error message:

`> backend@1.0.0 dev

nodemon --exec babel-node app.js

And also, the project it's completed, no like in the video.

Please can you hel me with this?

Is the password correct? Because this error comes when wrong password is sent to mongodb. And also check if you are getting password from env or not.

Thanks for your answer, but the thing it's that I downloaded the project and it comes with your configuration, and in the video it's a boilerplate, so i can't start since it's also completed. Considering it's a paid couse the repository should have what it is on the video, also, I'm just starting to learn node and express.
