problem of connecting new EC2 instance

Question

dear all  
I am a starter, and create a new EC2 instance(linux) and try to connect by two methods, but both failed:  
1. via putty, when enter the interface of 'login as:', I inputed username（EC2-user, or root)，it indicates:No supported authentication methods available（server sent:public key) and close the window.  
what can I do to successfully login?   
  
2. via: 'EC2 Instance Connect (browser-based SSH connection)' of control panel. it indicates:  
'EC2 service page is currently unavailable.  
You can monitor status on the AWS Service Health Dashboard.  
To visit a different AWS service page, go to AWS Management Console.  
You can also contact AWS Support for assistance.'  
is this problem of server? I tried yesterday evening and tomorrow morning, it has the same information, what can I do ?   
thanks a lot.
