title: Creating EC2 Amazon instance from AMI
body: <p>I have a t1 (free) EC2 Amazon instance running for an year already.</p>
  
  <p>I created an AMI from this instance and then tried to create another EC2 t1 instance from this AMI (using right button menu / Launch).</p>
  
  <p>The instance was created, its state has changed to running, but each time I try to retrieve an initial Windows password, I am getting the "<strong>Your password is not ready</strong>" notification.</p>
  
  <p>I know it may take some time, but it is now <strong>20 hours</strong> already since I created an instance. Isn't it too long? Have somebody else experienced such a long delay?</p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, as I am working with free micro servers, Amazon support is not willing to help me.</p>
