Hullo Kiran Sonawane I'm puzzled. How did you download the .pem file onto an instance you have no access to?
There are two parts to a key pair in AWS. The PUBLIC part will be placed on the instance by AWS as it is created, as an entry in ~ubuntu/.ssh/authorized_keys The PRIVATE part will be offered to you for download when you create it - whether you create it using the CLI, an API or the Console. That PRIVATE part will be called something.pem. Please confirm that the .pem file offered to you when you created the keypair is on the remote server - that you have no access to. If you really have no access to the server the .pem file is on, you will be unable to access the instance without going through a relatively complicated recovery process. It's generally simpler to create a new instance. Regards, K.
