This is part of standard risk detection. The IP address your server uses to access ClientLogin is different from the IPs that the account normally logs in as (which is what it looks like when someone has compromised the account). As a result you'll get the 403. You can use the CAPTCHA unlock to "whitelist" your server, or you can move to OAuth2<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/authentication#oauth>which won't have these issues.
