I'm not sure I understand, what window is this ? Before (and after)
chroot'ing into your system, sshd is not running so root logins are
not allowed. At most, they're configured to be allowed when sshd
starts up (this is exactly what everybody is free to change after
install, in the chroot (or without chrooting using ed(1))).

It's in the FAQ, these days. See section 4.5.7.
Cheers,
