MongoDB Community : Error when installing service as local or domain user

When installing MongoDB Community as a local service you need to enter the future credentials of your account :

If I enter for example: user: MongoDB password : root

I got this error message:

> The domain, user name and/or password are incorrect. > Remember to use "." for the domain if the account is on the local > machine.

What should I write here? Whenever I write something, I get an error.

Here is the solution: Username should be 'username' of your system/device. And password should be password of your system/device. It's weird, but that shall work.

Here's the solution for Windows 10(x64):

• If you don't have a domain (for home or personal computers), leave the domain field with "."

• If your computer is owned by your company, contact your system administrator and then in the domain field type : Company_Domain

• In the username field,

  • for personal computers : type your username. If you're signed in with a Microsoft Account, type the email address or the name of your Microsoft Account.

  • for company provided machines : type your username as Company_Domain/Your_Username

• In the password field type the password not the PIN number (if you've set it up).

That should help.

I had admin user without password.I had set password and try installation and give local admin user and password.it work for me.

Here is the best solution: Provide your system/device Username and password. And password should be password of your system/device. It's weird, but it shall work.

quit intall . restart install msi file,and select default option

I used the a similar solution as Khan. I went to the download directory and when I executed the msi file this time, I was asked whether the Compass option should be installed. After unchecking that, the rest of the install worked, using default options. This is a Windows 10 laptop.
