MongoError: Authentication failed. - trouble connecting to MongoLab

I am trying to connect to MongoLab (sandbox). I'm using MEAN.

I've put the development and production strings inside mongo={} in credentials.js file. But I'm not sure how to put database username and password. I can see my username and pass on MongoLab website, but I'm unsure of the format to use, can you please leave an example?

See the official documentation. The connection URI is formatted like this:

mongodb://<dbuser>:<dbpassword>@ds012345-a0.mongolab.com:56789/sample-db

You'll find the correct URI to your database on your admin page in Mongolab.
