If you've forgotten the admin password, you'll need to restart the MongoDB server in single-user mode *without* authentication. This allows you to connect as a privileged user without credentials and reset the password. The exact steps depend on your operating system and MongoDB version. Consult the official MongoDB documentation for instructions specific to your setup.
