The curl part is also explained in embeded the video, at around 1:35:45.

i verified the command (with enters for clarity):

curl -v https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token 
-d "grant_type=password" 
-d "client_id=<your_consumer_key>" 
-d "client_secret=<your_consumer_secret>" 
-d "username=<your_username>" 
-d "password=<your_password_and_security_token>" 
-H 'X-PrettyPrint:1'

logged out an in, with that user / password to make sure i got the right one. Renewed the token. Replaced with the info. Tested at this point, got that result.

Here i found i can relax ip restrictions, on Setup > App > manage > IP Relaxation, set them to "Relax IP Restriction". The same error

https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/?id=906F000000099liIAA

Then i found in Network Access, i can set allowed ip addresses. As inserting my ip as maximum and minimum, i whitelisted all IP's. Still the same

btw, i have windows 10, and curl seems ok

# run:
curl --version

# returns
curl 7.55.1 (Windows) libcurl/7.55.1 WinSSL
Release-Date: [unreleased]
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps http https imap imaps pop3 pop3s smtp smtps telnet tftp
Features: AsynchDNS IPv6 Largefile SSPI Kerberos SPNEGO NTLM SSL

Any clues?

solution: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10060093/special-characters-like-and-in-curl-post-data

replace

-d "password=<your_password_and_security_token>"

with

--data-urlencode "password=<your_password_and_security_token>"

in that link, they mention to encode also any other values with special chars
