First, this is better put to the freebsd-questions mailing list. Second, in /etc/ssh/sshd_config there is a line that reads: PermitRootLogin no Change that no to yes, kill -HUP your sshd processes, and you should be able to log in as root via ssh. By the way, this is set this way for security reasons. Think about using su or sudo rather than allowing root logins, perhaps.
