I'm a newbie and recently dusted off my BBB and updated to Debian 9. I followed the steps you listed for but instead instead of "PermitRootLogin without-password" it showed "PermitRootLogin prohibit-password", so I changed it to "PermitRootLogin yes". Now, when I try to SSH in and login as root, I tried using "root" as the password and got access denied. Any ideas?
