we dont recommend you enable root access, however, if you still require it for your situation, all you need is to open the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file with this command:

vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

look for this line: PermitRootLogin no

change it to:

PermitRootLogin yes

by default and for security purposes the root user is disabled. so if you try to login as the root user with your SSH client, the SSH server is disabled.
