This will allow the root user access via ssh which is disabled by default.
1. Go to the service console on the physical server and log in as root
2. type “vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config” (with quotes of course)
*if you dont know “vi” look it up before going any further.
3. Change the line that says PermitRootLogin from “no” to “yes”
4. Now restart the sshd service by entering “service sshd restart”
I would only do this if the root password is complex and your not allowing ssh from out side the network.
