NAME

       ec2-get-password - Fetch admin password for a Windows instance

SYNOPSIS

        ec2gpass ([ec2-get-password])
        ec2gpass [GENERAL OPTIONS] INSTANCE -k KEYFILE

GENERAL NOTES

        Any command option/parameter may be passed a value of '-' to indicate
        that values for that option should be read from stdin.

DESCRIPTION

        Fetch and decrypt the Administrator password for a Windows instance.

        The password is encrypted with the private key used when launching
        the instance. The result is Base64-encoded and emitted to the console
        output when the instance boots. This command retrieves the last such
        data emitted by the instance and decrypts the password.

        The KEYFILE parameter is a file containing the unencrypted PEM encoded
        PKCS#8 private key portion of the keypair specified when launching the
        instance.
