Enabling root login via ssh

i need to enable root login (i disabled it last night lol), i cannot login with another username, the window closes after logging in(tried on different computer too)
how do i re-enable? i must edit httpd.conf, is there any other ways that i can edit it else than ssh

p.s. control panel is plesk

 

You'll need to enable it in the SSHD config.

nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Code (markup):

Find

PermitRootLogin no

Code (markup):

and replace with

PermitRootLogin yes

Code (markup):

last but not least..

/etc/init.d/sshd restart

Code (markup):

 

well, i cant login ssh

 

If you can't login then you can't enable root login.. did you disable root login and not setup sudo or su?

 

oh well, i think so can dataserver do it if i e-mail?

 

Yes they should be able to enable it for you through the VPN

 

do you have cpanel or webmin ? if you do you can login to it to add a normal user , add him to wheel group then login via that user and su root

 

i got plesk only

 

ok , create a new client account then grant it ssh access , login with that account and su root

 

thnx for the help

 

Yes, I agree with random, create a plesk user and enable ssh access for it and su root user
