8 years ago I'm assuming you are using the bundled binary (which includes both the client and server)?
If that's the case, the Default server is the connection that is intended to be used with the bundled server. Using that connection is what ensures the bundled server is properly launched and the right ports are used to connect to it.
I have no idea why authentication was failing for you. The easiest thing I would try is to re-comment the creds you set and re-try connecting with the Default connection. Make sure you fully re-start the app after making any modifications to ob.cfg.
If you still get the Authentication error, then we'll need to do some slightly painful MacGyvering to get things back in order. Try this:
- Launch the app.
- Launch the developer tools. Not sure exactly how that looks on Windows, but on Mac, it's like this:
- type
localStorageand hit Enter. You should see something like this:
- Click the little triangle icon at the far left of that output so it expands and look for the
__serverConfig-... item that has a name ofdefault.
- For that entry, look for the
usernameandpasswordsettings (you probably need to scroll horizontally. For example, for me they are at the very end:
- Put those credentials in your ob.cfg file. For example, I would set my ob.cfg as follows:
USERNAME = 25VnIJjjcxJCG9b5IhBa
PASSWORD = E2EgwKGzv2odk7h2Cx3Q(Make sure you removed the leading hash (#) from each of those lines.)
- Restart the app and you should be able to connect to the Default profile.

Additional info (links, images, etc go here):
I changed usr and pwd in ob.cfg and created a new local server, because I had the Connection failed to default— too many failed authentication attempts error. But I can't get the server to run.
