    Hi Manpreet,

    If you’re having trouble logging in to Data Loader, try the following solutions.

    • Add a security token to the end of your password to log in to Data Loader.
    • Change the Server host to point to the appropriate server in Data Loader by following these steps:
    • Start the Data Loader.
    • Navigate to Settings | Settings.
    • Set Server host to https://yourInstance.salesforce.com/, whereinstance_name is the Salesforce instance you’re on.
    • Click OK to save your settings.
    • Ask your administrator whether you’re working behind a proxy server. If so, adjust your Data Loader settings. If you’re using APIs that are behind a proxy server, the proxy server prevents the APIs from connecting with Salesforce servers; you won’t see information about the APIs under Login History.
    • Try to log in on another computer to verify that your local device settings aren’t causing the problem.

    Hope this may help you

    thanks
