| | 53 | === Retrieving Lost Keypair === |
| | 54 | If you lose your keypair then you need to: |
| | 55 | * Create a new keypair in the AWS console & download the generated private key |
| | 56 | * Stop the instance |
| | 57 | * Create an AMI from this instance |
| | 58 | * Wait for the AMI to be ready |
| | 59 | * Launch a new instance using this AMI |
| | 60 | * Re-associate the Public IP |
| | 61 | * Delete the old instance |
| | 62 | * Deregister the AMI |
| | 63 | * Delete the snapshot used to create the AMI |
