I have a t1 (free) EC2 Amazon instance running for an year already.

I created an AMI from this instance and then tried to create another EC2 t1 instance from this AMI (using right button menu / Launch).

The instance was created, its state has changed to running, but each time I try to retrieve an initial Windows password, I am getting the "Your password is not ready" notification.

I know it may take some time, but it is now 20 hours already since I created an instance. Isn't it too long? Have somebody else experienced such a long delay?

Unfortunately, as I am working with free micro servers, Amazon support is not willing to help me.

You are NOT reading the complete message where it is telling you Your password is not ready.

The custom Windows AMI will inherit the password from the instance which it was created from. Read the message I pointed out above completely. You will find it yourself.

@slayedbulucifer: Nope, It doesn't say that, see a screenshot in my edited answer. But I am going to give it a try with my old password anyway.
Check my answer on another post here:stackoverflow.com/a/20606559/1251660. If it is a custom AMI, then It should have given you the said message unless you have Ec2SetPAssword Enabled/Disabled in Config.xml.
Yep, you were right, I can log in using the same password. Weird though, I didn't have Ec2SetPAssword enabled and still didn't get this message. Amazon bug, I guess. Thanks.
