I have a ami which need username/password for login via ssh. I want to create new amis from this, in which I can login from any newly created keypairs.
Any suggestions?

I'm not sure what AMI allows username/password login, but when you create an instance from an AMI, you need to specify a key pair.
That key will be ADDED to the authorized_keys for the default user (ec2-user for Amazon Linux, ubuntu for the Ubuntu AMI, etc).
Why you don't just add the users/password to the instance and then build your AMI from there? Then you can change your /etc/ssh/sshd_config
and permit username passwords with this: PasswordAuthentication yes
. Btw, Username/Password authentication is not recommended for servers in the cloud because of man in the middle attacks. (use it at your own risk)
Not sure if I understand the question fully, but if you want to change the behavior of the instance when it boots up I suggest you look at fuzzing with cloud-init. The configuration in the instance is under /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg
. For example on on Ubuntu the default says something like this:
user: ubuntu
disable_root: 1
preserve_hostname: False
...
If you want to change the default user you can change it there
user: <myuser>
disable_root: 1
preserve_hostname: False
...
The simplest way is to do this is by adding the following snippet in to the /etc/rc.local or its equivalent.
