As noted the permissions command should be performed on your local computer. The password for sudo will generally be your user password for your respective OS. Let us know if there is anything unclear to you in the article you linked.
Additionally, try out the in-browser SSH where you will not have to configure the key at all.
Thanks for using Lightsail

The step 3 command for "sudo chmod.." is mean to be ran on your laptop to protect the private key on your machine.
Ok thanks, so should I do something else to log in as root?

Thank you so much! Can't believe I didn't think to use the OS user password, but that's what it needed.
