I'm new to AWS, I created an EC2 instance and I want to terminate it.

However, when I created it, I set disableApiTermination to True, and now, when I'm trying to terminate it, I receive this message:

The instance 'i-03bd46dff8fca8db7' may not be terminated.
Modify its 'disableApiTermination' instance attribute and try again.

I would like to set disableApiTermination to false, but I can't find this option on the console, do you know how I turn this off ?

This feature is called Termination Protection. To disable it:

1. Select the instance, and choose Actions, Instance Settings, Change Termination Protection.

2. Choose Yes, Disable.
