I tried to start Mongod.exe and received an "unclean shutdown detected" from the console:
Since I did not have anything stored, I simply used
mongod --repair
without the --repairpath option, which repairs the data files without preserving the original files (docs.mongodb.org). However, I did not have to remove the lock file via the "rm /data/db/mongod.lock" command, as the documentation states.
