Using ANT to deploy but always throws a message saying INVALID_LOGIN: Invalid username, password, security token; or user locked out

I'm using ANT to deploy but always throws a message saying INVALID_LOGIN: Invalid username, password, security token; or user locked out.
I've tried to reset the password and security token as well but still same, can anyone please help me out what might be the cause.?

Make sure your pointing to the correct environment (test.salesforce.com if you're deploying to a sandbox or login.salesforce.com if you're pointing to production).  Otherwise try checking the Login History (Setup->Manage Users->Login History) to see if you're even using the correct user name.

Hi Martin,

Please check the Build.properties and make sure that you are using the right Server name, user name and password.

@pratima sri,  
sf.username = <Insert username here...> // remove everything on the right of equal symbol and enter your username or password

sf.username = username

Please check your build.properties folder, if you are trying to retrieve data from a sandbox.
Use sf.serverurl = https://test.salesforce.com 
similarly, if you want to retrieve data from production then use sf.serverurl = https://login.salesforce.com

In my case, I have an "exclamation mark", which is "!", included in my password. This caused NVALID_LOGIN issue. I had to change my password (without the "!") in order to make it works.
