as the title says my account returns this error whenever i try to access it using the SOAP API, my account is development account i have encountered this before and just created a new account but if this is a recurring issue, I would like to know the way to fix this. Also all the credentials are correct and i can login to my https://ap1.salesforce.com account. also I have tried resetting the password and still the same error occurred. any idea on why this is happening?

Exception INVALID_LOGIN: Invalid username, password, security token; or user locked out.

Reset to default

This is definitely something wrong with your username and password.Please note you need security token appended to password like password+token to access salesforce unless your IP address is in network access .

  • i changed them now and got it to connect to SOAP again, but why did it prompt that before i changed my password and token?

  • sorry i did not get you but invalid password implies something wrong in username and password or security token .Also note each time you change password security token gets changed

  • sorry if I didn't made my self clear enough, I was working with the same credentials a few days ago until recently I wasn't able to connect to the SOAP api anymore thus prompting me to check for errors and I found out the Exception INVALID_LOGIN error. any reason for my account to just automatically turn to this?

  • One reason i could think of is password would have expired.Other could be you reset security token or password and forget.It's manual activity .

    You can change the password settings in Setup > Security Controls > Password Settings. There is an option for "never expires." Note that if you were not using a security token, your IP address may have changed, which would cause logins that were working to suddenly stop.
