If you may get an error Permission Denied Public key while login into Amazon EC2 server,
By default can be login into server using .pem key file,
$ ssh -i yourkey.pem ubuntu@ec2-192-15-0-10.compute-1.amazonaws.com
then, you should be able to change the ssh configuration, If you get Ubuntu server typically in /etc/ssh/sshd_config or /etc/sshd/sshd_config
Open a ssh configure file by text editor,
$ sudo vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
PasswordAuthentication no
Change to
PasswordAuthentication yes
Once you have configured the ssh restart that service,
$ sudo service ssh restart
Create a user name and set password,
$ sudo adduser username
Now, Login your server in Terminal or Putty
$ sudo ssh -p 22 username@192.168.0.20
