Check two things :

 

1) Username and password should be correct, also enter security token with password.

2) Go to Settings in data loader > Check Server Host (clear for default) : should be "https://login.salesforce.com" if you have developer edition and "https://test.salesforce.com" if it is a sandbox.

 

Let me know if still you face any problem.

 

Thanks

Hi

 

In Password you have to specify yor Pasword and Security Token.

Like in Password you have to enter PasswordSecurityToken, then 

You can login Successfully.

I've done all of this but I still get the error logging in to Salesforce.  Please check your username and password.  I'm using the developer edition so I change  the server host to https://test.salesforce.com and put my password as passwordsecuritytoken.  I also tried adding my ip range as a trusted ip.

If you are using developer edition then you need to change "https://test.salesforce.com" to " https://login.salesforce.com"

 

And if you are using sandbox then you need to use " https://test.salesforce.com". Also ensure that you can login into your organization from browser.
