Once your instance is running in the cloud, you may want to manage it.

On Unix/Linux, just ssh to it.

On Windows, you may want to use WinSCP/Putty to do that. Here is a good link to detail the process. Make sure to log on as ec2-user not root.

After login, type the command:

# sudo su

You are now swithed to root
