how to recover an amazon ec2 instance with a messed up sshd configuration
when changing /etc/sshd_config I made a mistake and didn't notice that sshd wasn't running anymore when I logged out. Naturally I can not log back in because sshd is not running.
Is there any other way to connect back into a amazon ec2 instance?

If it's an EBS back AMI, you can stop the instance, attach and mount the current volume to another instance, edit the config.
If it's an S3 based, launch a replacement instance.
