Before I answer, a warning: This is a highly dangerous setting that is not recommended. This allows direct access to the root account of a remote machine, making it especially vulnerable to SSH server exploits. It is *much* better to install and use sudo with a regular user, especially through SSH. Crackers will be looking for root accounts, not normal users as their names are hard to predict. Finding an SSH server that happily allows a root login is precisely what evildoers are hoping for.

Now, to answer your question: To log in as root: "PermitRootLogin yes" in /etc/etc/sshd_config... As long as there's no keypair associated with root on either machine it should require a password. But do yourself a favor and install sudo instead.
