How Do I Handle the Failure in Logging In to ECS After Unbinding the Key Pair?
Symptom
- When the login mode for an ECS is the key pair but the initial key pair has been unbound, there is no password or key pair available for logging in to the ECS. What can I do?
- When I bind a key pair to an ECS on the KPS console, I disabled the password login mode. After the key pair is unbound, I have no password and key pair to log in to the ECS. How can I solve this problem?
Procedure
Method 1: resetting the password
Reset the password on the ECS console and use the password to log in to the ECS. For details, see Elastic Cloud Server User Guide.
Method 2: resetting the key pair

- You can choose whether to disable the password login mode as necessary. By default, the password login mode is disabled.
- If you do not disable the password login mode, you can use the password or the key pair to log in to the ECS.
- If the password login mode is disabled, you can use only the key pair to log in to the ECS. If you need to use the password login mode later, you can enable the password login mode again. For details, see How Do I Enable the Password Login Mode for an ECS?.
- Select I have read and agree to the Key Pair Service Disclaimer.
- Click OK. The key pair is bound. After the binding is complete, you can use the key pair to log in to the ECS.
