Remote root logins are disabled by default. This is probably the best 
way to leave things. You can log in as a user then su to root, use sudo 
or whatever.

If you do want to modify this, edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and alter the line:

#PermitRootLogin no

to read:

PermitRootLogin yes

then restart sshd

PWR.
