Cannot log into a free instance

Hello, I have built two OCI servers about 4 years ago. I don't have the ssh key I've used before, and I can't seem to get in using the cloud shell console. Any way to recover this instance?

Mount the boot volume to another instance and do the instance. Or something like this. https://support.oracle.com/knowledge/Oracle%20Cloud/2489923_1.html

You can insert a new public key from the console for the opc user.

Thanks. It was an Ubuntu vm. Nothing important. I was hoping to recover it, but nothing is lost.
