    ---------------------------------------------

    are you trying to log on as "root" ?
    That is forbidden by default.
    you must change the parameter "PermitRootLogin" from no to yes in the
    sshd conf file (which is located at /etc/ssh/sshd_conf/)

    btw: it is a bad habit to remotely log in as root, it is considered to
    be more secure if you log on as unprivileged user and then "su - root"
    to become the superuser.
