# Alias for convenience (optional and at your own risk)
$ echo 'alias mongo="mongo --port 27017 -u someadmin -p secret --authenticationDatabase admin"' >> ~/.bash_profile
$ source ~/.bash_profile

# Add user to your DB
$ mongo

> db.createUser(
    {
      user: "mongouser",
      pwd: "someothersecret",

sudo service mongod stop
sudo mv /data/admin.* .  # for backup
