Testing an Oracle DB connection before it is made - ERROR?

I tried to make a new oracle DB connection with user name and password. I entered the connection name, user name and password in the new connection window. When I click the "test" button or the "connect" button, I get the following error: Status : Failure - Test Failed: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied

Why am I getting this error ? What does the Test & Connect button actually do ?
