Can you SSH in as a non-root user? If so, then the "problem" is that /etc/ssh/sshd_config has "PermitRootLogin no" set. This actually isn't a problem. Even using SSH you really shouldn't sign in as root directly. My team routinely disables this after a system has been built. We have to sign in as ourselves, and then su to root.
If you cannot SSH in as a non-root user, then you might want to make sure your SSH client tries SSH2 protocol before SSH1. For PuTTY, this is under Connection->SSH->Preferred SSH Protocol Version.
