But when I log in as a root in terminal by typing "sudo su" and then running "ssh localhost" it is asking me for root password and I typed the correct password several times and I get the message saying permission denied.
srimanth@srimanth-Inspiron-N5110:~$ sudo su
[sudo] password for srimanth:
xdpyinfo: unable to open display "localhost:0.0".
root@srimanth-Inspiron-N5110/home/srimanth # ssh localhost

root@localhost's password:
Permission denied (publickey,password).
I changed password by "sudo passwd root". even after this I get the same message saying permission denied. I dont know where wether the root password and root@localhost are same and I dont know where I have set up root@localhost password. I would appreciate some help. Thank you.
