Read on, on that same page (defaults-and-settings). You can write to the first partition (call it /dev/mmcblk0p1, /dev/sdb1, or wherever it appears in your system), in the file "sysconf.txt": root_pw: Set a password for the root user (by default, it allows for a passwordless login) Now... I cannot *assure* this will work right away for allowing a remote login. I don't have a live RPi at the moment. But others have pointed out at the PermitRootLogin setting in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. In earlier versions, the build _did_ modify that file to set PermitRootLogin=yes; I am no longer deviating from the Debian standard. If I'm not mistaken, the default Debian configuration is an implicit: PermitRootLogin prohibit-password If so, you should also edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config in your second partition and set: PermitRootLogin yes
