Huh? Really "I need to be able to log in as root." no you don't.

Login as "debian" first over ssh then use sudo to switch to root user:

aka:

ssh [email protected]

then "sudo su" to switch to root...

sudo sed -i -e 's:PermitEmptyPasswords no:PermitEmptyPasswords yes:g'
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
sudo sed -i -e 's:UsePAM yes:UsePAM no:g' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
sudo sed -i -e 's:PermitRootLogin without-password:PermitRootLogin
yes:g' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
