data loader login failure

Hi,
I am new to Salesforce. I am working on 'Use Data Loader to Export Data' project. I downloaded Data Loader and clicked 'Export' and 'Password Authentication' as instructed. I put my developer edition user name and password, salesforce login URL default is 'https://login.salesforce.com. when I clicked 'login', I got error message 'check your username and password. If you still can't login, contact your administrator'.
Can anyone please help me? Thank you!

Hey Soomin,

Try adding the security token after the password. You can reset the securitty token by going into your personal setting in your salesforce org.

@Avishek Nanda Thank you for a quick reply. You mean I have to add security token right after my password like, xxxxxsecuritytoken?

Yes soomin,
That's right.
xxxxSecurityToken will be your password to login into dataloader.
