Apex Data Loader Password Error

I'm having trouble using the Apex Data Loader from the command line.  It works fine thru the GUI.  If I encrypt just my password and run it, I get an "Invalid user name, password, or missing security token" error.  If I encrypt my password and my security token, I get the following error:

It seems to be having a problem with the password but I'm not sure what it's trying to tell me.
 
 
 
I discovered what the problem was.  I did not have the password and security token encrypted properly.

Thank you, this helped.  I was using   encrypt -g <password>,  getting the same error.  Actually read the help for excrypt and chose  encrypt -e  instead, works now.
