          As far as I know, there is no passwords set by default. Important is that you try to login with the correct user.



          Depending on which AMI you selected this can vary. ec2-user for AWS Linux, ubuntu for Ubuntu, centos for CentOS.

          You can try something like this to mount the volume then reset the password / create a new key.

            If you feel that you cannot get access to system. You can create AMI of your instance, create a volume of that AMI and then create a new instance and mount that volume on new instance and recover the data.
