title: Original instance terminated, can't RDP into new instance with EBS snapshot restored volume
body: <p>I'm new to EC2 and I mistakenly terminated an instance that was setup the way that I like and had taken EBS snapshots of (root volume).</p>
  <p>I created an AMI based on the snapshot I wanted, but when I launch a new instance, I no longer am able to decrypt the Administrator password for the volume. I tried <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/WindowsGuide/ResettingAdminPassword_EC2Config.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">these steps</a> but couldn't get it to work even though I have the pem for the key file.</p>
  <p>Is there anyway to recover this Administrator password?</p>
