    sudo -i

  • Then enter this command to change root password:

    passwd

  • Enter a password twice for the root user.

  • Then enter the following command:

    sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

  • Edit the file by replacing the line #PermitRootLogin prohibit-password by PermitRootLogin yes:

  • Then on your keyboard press the keys Ctrl + X to exit, Y to save and Enter to validate.

  • Enter this command to apply change:

    sudo service ssh restart

  • Log out of the current SSH session.
