The username of Amazon AMI is difference depend on the AMI creator,

for Amazon AMI , user ec2-user for Ubuntu AMI , user ubuntu

You may search from the ami-id to see what is the default username of that AMI. Please ensure that this key you use is the private key for the public key which you put to key-binding when you created the instance.

Try logging in as ec2-user. On the instances I have tried root login was disabled by default.

The created SSH key was wrong. The key happends to be SSH 1. not SSH2. For me it worked for root.
