Normally, SSH root logins are disabled by default in new Ubuntu installs. In this video, we outline how to enable root SSH logins in Ubuntu in a new build by editing the sshd_config file.

Commands used:
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
modify: PermitRootLogin from "no" to "yes"
systemctl restart sshd
or
service sshd restart
