I have tried a lot for install sample data in Magento 2. I am trying a new method, but still not getting success. 

sudo php bin/magento sampledata:deploy

After apply this code i am getting this 

./composer.json has been updated
Loading composer repositories with package information
    Authentication required (repo.magento.com):       
      Username:

I dont know which username and password is asking here. I have generate token in my magento account. But what to do next and which user name and password to give there.

You get following message

You are required to authenticate to complete the action. when you try to upgrade or install the sample data in Magento 2 using Composer method using following command.

php <your Magento install dir>/bin/magento sampledata:deploy

This is a new concept in Magento 2 for upgrades. You have to configure your keys in you Magento account under connect tab secure keys section. (As you have to access a repository)

You will find following excerpt from Magento official documentation :

The repo.magento.com repository, where Magento 2 and third-party component Composer packages are stored, requires authentication. To provide secure authentication, we enable you to generate a pair 32-character authentication tokens you can use to access the repository.

Please refer this Enter your authentication keys in the Admin
