That is forbidden by default. you must change the parameter "PermitRootLogin" from no to yes in the sshd conf file (which is located at /etc/ssh/sshd_conf/) btw: it is a bad habit to remotely log in as root, it is considered to be more secure if you log on as unprivileged user and then "su - root" to become the superuser.
