Disabling the firewall in Ubuntu on an Amazon EC2 instance

Question

How do I disable the Ubuntu server firewall running inside an amazon instance, though, without using ssh? I am not able to access via ssh because of the timeout error, I think it has a firewall on the server blocking but I can not disable it precisely because it can not access. I need to somehow disable it, directly from the Amazon web console. How do I do so?

I already configured the security group in several ways, so I finally left it, with all the ports open for testing.

My route table is:

My ACLs is:

My instance settings:

Already tried to connect like this using OpenSSH:

ssh -i "c: \ key \ owlcom.pem" ubuntu@ec2-54-149-193-61.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com

and so

ssh -i "C: \ key \ owlcom.pem" X.X.X.X <- elastic ip

and so

ssh -i "C: \ key \ owlcom.pem" ubuntu@x.x.x.x

none of them works on any of my computers using openssh or putty., setting the putty correctly with the key.ppk

 In your AWS Dashboard, please go to Services > Compute > EC2 so you can see all your EC2 instances:

1. Once in the EC2 dashboard, go to the "Instances" tab. Once there, locate the instance in which you want to disable the firewall. Click on it and you should be able to see a summary of the instance in the lower part of the website. After that, go to the Security Group section and click on "view inbound rules". There you will be able to see all the open ports your instance has.

2. To modify such ports, you actually need to modify the Security Group rules your instance is attached to. To do so, click in the security group name in the panel where the "view inbound rules" was. It should take you to another page where you will be able to edit all the firewall rules.

I hope this helps you with answering your question.
