Root access amazon ec2
- by mazzzzz
Hey guys, I am very new to linux, and amazon-ec2. I wanted to put a quick server.
For some reason, when I sign in with my key pair, it prompts me for a username, I input ec2-user, and I'm in.
The problem is that I don't have root access (and can't find the root password).
I need to install screen to run the server in the background, and also create a new user, that doesn't have root, to run the server. Neither of which I can do without root..
Any help?
Edit:
I am using Basic 32-bit Amazon Linux AMI 2010.11.1 Beta as the 'AMI'.
Thanks,
Max
