I am able to login to data loader for production instance however I am able to login to sandbox. I am adding the security token at the end too. I am using version 37 of data loader and windows 7.

When I try to login into data loader, I get a login error "Error:Check your username and password. If you still can't login, contact your Salesforce admin". I am sure that I am using the correct username and password. I am also adding security token at the end of password.

    Also visit your User record to see login history. Just check what error is coming when you try to login by data loader. Jun 10, 2016 at 5:57
  • Login history doesn't show the login attempt.

  • I hope you changed login instance to test.salesforce.com from login.salesforce.com before using dataloader for a sandbox. Check dataloader settings. Jun 10, 2016 at 6:00

guess you are NOT able to login somewhere go to dataloader settings and change

https://test.salesforce.com for sandbox

https://login.salesforce.com for production enter image description here

If Login history doesn't show the login attempt, it means your user name is wrong.

Be sure that server host is https://test.salesforce.com and your sandbox name added end of the org. username.

With the newer version there is a new option available called "Password Authentication". Can you please try with this.
