Better also don't do that. Disabling root ssh access is a good feature. Just enable ssh access for the "user" user, and then escalate your privileges with devel-su.

In terminal:

Code:
devel-su
passwd user
Set your password for "user". Then for remote ssh access:
Code:
ssh user@<your_ip>
devel-su
And that's it. Also probably worth while to change root's password as well.
