Why is server refusing my key?
The user trying to access the instance was deleted from the server or the account was locked. There are permissions issues on the instance or you're missing a directory. You're using the incorrect private key file when connecting to your EC2 instance.
Why is my EC2 instance refused to connect?
The following are common causes for this error: The host reached the instance but there was no service listening on the SSH port. A firewall blocked and was set to reject the package instead of dropping it.
How can you connect your EC2 instance if you lost your key?
To replace a lost key pair, you can use the AWS Systems Manager AWSSupport-ResetAccess Automation document. Or, you can create an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) of the existing instance, launch a new instance, and then select a new key pair.
Why is SSH not using my key?
Make sure the authorized_keys file and the private key itself have the correct permissions and ownership. Check that key-based authentication is allowed by the server. Make sure the private key is readable by the SSH client. If you're using PuTTY, make sure your SSH keys are properly configured for the session.
Why is my key not being detected?
An antenna or wiring fault in the keyless entry system, software issues, a damaged circuit board, or a faulty start button are all possible culprits. Consider having the vehicle inspected for any repair needs.
How do I fix SSH connection refused?
Typing in the wrong credentials a few times will result in failed login attempts, causing the SSH “Connection refused” error. Make sure you're entering the correct username, password, hostname, and port to avoid an SSH connection failure.
How do I recover my EC2 private key?
Amazon EC2 doesn't keep a copy of your private key; therefore, if you lose a private key, there is no way to recover it. If you lose the private key for an instance store-backed instance, you can't access the instance; you should terminate the instance and launch another instance using a new key pair.
Is it possible to recover your lost private key?
Please take note that if a private key is lost, there is no way to either recover it or to regenerate it. However, aside from the private key, there are also other ways you can use to import your wallet address and ultimately recover the tokens in them.
How do I add a SSH key to an EC2 instance?
To add or replace a key pair
Connect to your instance using your existing private key. Using a text editor of your choice, open the . ssh/authorized_keys file on the instance. Paste the public key information from your new key pair underneath the existing public key information.
What do you do when your key doesn't work?
Use a small, flat-blade screwdriver to pry the key off the keyboard. Insert the blade below the key and gently rotate the screwdriver until the key pops off. Once the key is off, you can clean anything around it. To return the key, put it in place and press down.
What should be the permission of authorized_keys?
The authorized_keys file should have 644 permissions and be owned by the user. The next time you connect with SSH you should not have to enter your password.
