Unable to Retrieve Default Windows Administrator Password in AWS EC2

 Error: 

Password not available yet. Please wait at least 4 minutes after launching an instance before trying to retrieve the auto-generated password.

Note: Passwords are generated during the launch of Amazon Windows AMIs or custom AMIs that have been configured to enable this feature. Instances launched from a custom AMI without this feature enabled use the username and password of the AMI’s parent instance

 

Solutions:

The below steps are worked for me. 

1.Connect to your Windows instance and customize it. 

2.Search for and run the EC2LaunchSettings application if the windows is 2016
or later or if the windows server 2012 R2 and earlier version of Windows server 2012R2 open EC2Config service application.

3.Enable Random(Retrieve from console) 

4.Click Shutdown the system with Sysprep option.

5.Create AMI once instance got shutdown. 

6. Then launch the system using new Keypair.

  1. Having a website is different from having it online. You can create a website and access it via a browser on your computer. But for others to access the same website, it needs to be on an online server. Simply put, web hosting is making sure websites are kept on the Web so that they are available to Internet users across the globe. https://onohosting.com/
