I created a Ubuntu 18.04 Instance in AWS, then I connected to the instance using the pem file using ssh -i pemfile ubuntu@public-IP

sudo passwd ubuntu
Changing password for user ubuntu.
New password:

I set the password for the account, then enable the password authentication in the SSH config file

Find the PasswordAuthentication no 
and set it to yes
