Do you have an account on the server which has a password? – user253751 Jun 22 '20 at 14:37

I did not create any account. I used the default Ubuntu 18.04 image. – Fritz FABO Jun 22 '20 at 14:38

1Okay well if it's asking for a username and password then you need a username and password which means you need an account that has a username and password. The default ec2-user account has no password. – user253751 Jun 22 '20 at 14:42

The other guys at the coffee shop wi-fi can also see everything you type (including your username and password) – user253751 Jun 22 '20 at 14:43

1(the long story short is telnet is pretty stupid and you should use ssh if you're not stupid) – user253751 Jun 22 '20 at 15:00
