| If you want to login as root using SSH or SFTP you need to edit the config of SSHD, do this: | |
| Login, and edit this file: sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config | |
| Find this line: PermitRootLogin without-password | |
| Edit: PermitRootLogin yes | |
| Close and save file | |
| reboot or restart sshd service using: /etc/init.d/ssh restart | |
| Set a root password if there isn't one already: sudo passwd root | |
| Now you can login as root, but I recommend you using strong password or ssh-keys |
