Your /etc/ssh/sshd_config has this line by default:

#PermitRootLogin no

(It's commented out, but it's the default value.)  Either uncomment it and
change the 'no' to a 'yes', or create some non-root accounts and use those
instead of root.  In the long run, you'll be better off creating non-root
accounts.
