The generated SSH key was incorrect. The key event is SSH 1. not SSH2. For me, this worked for root.

Amazon AMI username depends on AMI creator,

for Amazon AMI, user ec2 user for Ubuntu AMI, user ubuntu

You can search with ami-id to find out what is the default username for AMI. Make sure that the key you are using is the private key for the public key that you add to the key binding when creating the instance.

Try logging in as an ec2 user. In the instances I tried, the root input was disabled by default.
