Hi Alan,
To log into Data loader, your login password is not just your password.
In order to login into Data Loader, your password will be concatenation of your password and the security token.
To get the security for your org, go to my settings by clicking the your name. Go to personal information. Click reset my security token. Your security token will be emailed to you. 
Your login password will be then: your password+security token.

Let me know if it helps.
Thanks

You need to use your password + Security token together to login  


To reset it:
Setup > My Personal Information > Reset Security Token


When you get your token and you try to log in to the data loader, your password will be something like the following

Normal Password: password123
Security Token: a1X30000000fKPxEAM

Dataloader Password: password123a1X30000000fKPxEAM
