How To Enable Root Login via SSH In Ubuntu Print

By default SSH Login for Root is disabled in Ubuntu, but it is convenient to directly login via SSH as root, so here is how it can be done:

Login to your server, use

"su -" to gain root access

Then

vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config 

OR

nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

depending upon your text editor.

Now add following line to it:

PermitRootLogin yes

Now restart SSHD:

systemctl restart sshd

or

service sshd restart
