Hi AWS, the password of my existing EC2 instance is expired and I was not aware of that. It is a Windows Instance and the AMI used is 2016 or later which is EC2ConfigService. Now while trying to change the password I followed the following steps:
- Launch a new instance with the same security group and subnet as the existing one.
- Stopped the existing instance and detached the volumes from it.
- Attached the volumes to the new instance and generated the password and RDP into it.
- Once login into the new instance I have opened Disk Manager and brought the offline disks in online mode.
- Now while I am trying to enable the password in the supposed location
D:\Program Files\Amazon\Ec2ConfigService\Settings\config I am seeing EC2LaunchService folder and I am confused why I am not able to see the Ec2ConfigService folder.
Please guide.
