1st way

I think there should be another user in the db.system.users. If so, please use the saved user to log in.

If there is NO users in the db.system.users

> db.system.users.find({})
  null

we can access mongodb through mongo --port 27017.

2nd way - Usual cause of problem

use sudo mongod --port 27017

instead of sudo mongod --auth --port 27017 --dbpath /var/lib/mongodb

note : --auth is only required when username & password authentication is setup
