The sshd_config file must be updated. cd /etc/ssh vi sshd_config /PermitRootLogin be sure it is yes and uncommented. I also change PasswordAuthentication to yes.
kill sshd start sshd you should be good to go. In the beginning I use ed after logging in as root from the VM userid itself. Use s/no/yes/ to make changes.
