I'm getting permission denied on both those logs.....I'm not in as root.
Where would I change the root password? I have access to the WHM panel and cpanel

Check to see if password authentication is permitted by browsing to:New Thanks, I changed the password but I get access denied when trying to login via ssh. I've also gone over the link you sent, I don't see an option to prevent root from logging in unless I'm missing it...
Could you provide additional information about the specific commands you are using to edit the file, along with the username you used to access SSH?So I get into the ssh_config and I'm adding permitrootlogin but then I get permission denied when trying to save the file.....
You must login as the user "root". You can try the safesshrestart Autofixer referenced above if initial access as "root" to SSH is not working.I'm logged in as the user Caldwell who is not an admin and I used Nano sshd_config. I can edit the file but when I go to save it it gives me the permission error.
sudo -i
sudo commandyouwant
I'm happy to see SSH access is now working. Thank you for updating us with the outcome.That worked! I'll follow the instructions on the other thread. I guess you can close this now?
