How can I access AWS disks outside of an instance?

Greetings.
The connection with the database in the AWS instance was lost, the connection does not work via SSH - either the key is broken, or it was simply clicked and the one that was found "not from this lock". According to the architecture of AWS systems, disks in storage instances are connected from EC3 - so the main question is, how can I connect to a data disk outside the instance that this disk uses?
Perhaps there is an option to launch some new instance and connect the disk to it as a second one. But I would like to use this option only as a last resort. I would like some simpler option - even just downloading a full disk snapshot, its full backup or snapshot, which can be viewed locally on a computer, would be suitable.
Any help is welcome, thanks!

The disks referred to are EBS (Elastic Block Storage) and it can be detached from a powered off instance and attached to a new one. Or, in general, you can just make an AMI and create a new instance with a new key. Outside the instance, EBS cannot be accessed
UPD. And yes, all this is done if desired, click-click in the admin panel
