login to sandbox from Force.com IDE

Hi All,

 

I am trying to login to sandbox from Force.com IDE. I am getting the following error:

 

Unable to connect to hostname 'test.salesforce.com':
Invalid username, password, security token; or user locked out.
Please verify and/or change your credentials

 

When I entered Force.com IDE, I selected the environment "Sandbox" and gave the required credentials.

 

I could able to login from www.salesforce.com.

 

Coul anyone please help me to fix this? Your help is greatly appreciated.

After nearly pulling my hair out getting the same error message as Rima, I discovered I was making a super stupid/simple mistake:

 

In Apex Loader, you have to paste your security token in the password field, immediately following your password.  But, in Eclipse there is a separate field provided for the sercurity token.  Since my password was already saved in the Eclipse password field, all I needed to do was paste the security token I'd just reset into the security token field.  But, instead, I was typing my password and then pasting my token into the security token field.  I know, it makes no sense, but I was working fast and my habit of putting both in one field in the Apex Loader bit me. 

 

Hope that helps save somebody else a headache!

I had the same issue and the below is the right thing to do to fix this problem

 

Go to Admin User | Setup | My Personal Information | Reset security token

 

You wil be sent a security token to your e-mail

 

If your password = "mypassword"
And your security token = "XXXXXXXXXX"
You must enter "mypasswordXXXXXXXXXX" in place of your password

 

 

Thank you,

 

salesforce user

Login sandbox using browser, reset the security token in sandbox environment.
