How to config mongo on a remote server?

I have two servers, one for app(rails) and one for db(mongo).My rails config for mongo will be like this(yaml file):

hosts:
  - xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:57777
database: admin
username: root
password: some_password

So.. how can I configure on the mongo server including the 57777 port, password for root user?

Update

I tried to change the password but in vain:

$ mongo
> use admin
> db.changeUserPassword("root", "new_password")
Error: Updating user failed: User root@admin not found at src/mongo/shell/db.js:1105

First you will need to create a user with the following command on mongo shell:

use admin
db.createUser(
    {
      user: "root",
      pwd: "some_password",
      roles: [
         { role: "userAdminAnyDatabase", db: "admin" }
      ]
    }
)

You can then stop mongo server(kill). Now start mongo server with the command : mongod --port 57777 -u root -p some_password --authenticationDatabase admin
