PVE 7 unable ssh to root

[Mikey6283]

Hi , I have installed Proxmox 7, however when i try to ssh into root i cannot make connection. However if i use the shell there is no problem. The password is correct.
I have tried different computers same results.

Any Ideas please.

Have you permit root login in your sshd config?

You need to manually allow it. By default it is forbidden to be able to login as root with a password (and it is good that it is forbidden because that would make the server more unsecure). You could allow it by editing the line "# PermitRootLogin password-prohibit" to "PermitRootLogin yes" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and then restarting your ssh server using systemctl restart ssh.
