Answer : Problem: help logging into openssh

i am testing out ssh for when i port it onto one of my servers. I have enabled the root login in the config, and restarted it, but even when i try doing ssh anand@localhost, it still doesn't work - saying permission denied (probably because my password is wrong).
thanks
