are you trying to log on as "root" ?
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.
