unable to connect to mongodb?

This same code was working perfect the other day, now its not working…

it appears it has something to do with access controls but I cant figure it out.

I found a similar issue on StackOverflow, however, I am not sure where to implement the db.createUser code

here is a similar StackOverflow questions: MongoDB – admin user not authorized

below is my code

[nodemon] app crashed - waiting for file changes before starting...

this is where the server side code is, aswell as all the code::

https://github.com/casas1010/mean-project/blob/main/backend/app.js

i have admin rights and the MongoDB should allowed access from any IP

here is the code making the connection::

const express = require("express");
const bodyParser = require("body-parser");
const mongoose = require("mongoose");

const postsRoutes = require("./routes/posts");

const app = express();

mongoose
  .connect(
    "mongodb+srv://USERNAME:[email protected]/?retryWrites=true&w=majority"
  )
  .then(() => {
    console.log("Connected to database!");
  })
  .catch(() => {
    console.log("Connection failed!");
  });

app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));

app.use((req, res, next) => {
  res.setHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
  res.setHeader(
    "Access-Control-Allow-Headers",
    "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept"
  );
  res.setHeader(
    "Access-Control-Allow-Methods",
    "GET, POST, PATCH, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS"
  );
  next();
});

app.use("/api/posts", postsRoutes);

module.exports = app;
