I’ve tried the right password but keep getting the same login failed
I am able to connect using the below command:
mongo "mongodb+srv://mflix-mfz3r.mongodb.net/test" --username m220student --password m220password
Kanika
Which command line tool did you use? Would that make a difference?
I am using Cmder
No, it should not. 
It might be a case that some characters get converted which your command line tool failed to understand but thats a guess. Can you try on some different tool?
Kanika
I tried on gitBash and windows power shell and both got a login failed
Try without quotes:
mongo mongodb+srv://mflix-mfz3r.mongodb.net/test --username m220student --password m220password
Please share the full screenshot containing the command and the output of the error.

Hi @Gregdd,
I tried replicating the issue but I am unable to do so.
Please install 4.0.9 current version of MongoDB from mongodb.com/download-center and then try again.
Let me know how it goes.
Kanika
Thanks for looking into it -I’ll uninstall all mongoDB - reinstall and post how it goes.
Uninstalled and reinstalled everything - still the same problem.
Working!!!
I removed the word test from the url and it worked!
Thanks again for looking into this for me.
mongo “mongodb+srv://mflix-mfz3r.mongodb.net/test” --username m220student - // no good
mongo “mongodb+srv://mflix-mfz3r.mongodb.net” --username m220student - // all good

Dear Kanika
URI string is working properly
mongodb+srv://m220student:m220password@mflix-l8oxy.mongodb.net/test?retryWrites=true
but python run.py is giving error.
Thanks

If the URI is fine, your .ini must not be formatted correctly.
In particular, you are showing the content of dotini_win.ini. You seem to have ignore the step that says:
