Cannot login as Root in Putty

[Epicness35]

Hi,

I am trying to use SSH on putty, but when I try to login, it says that my password for root is invalid. What do I do?

I have in intel pentium d inside with a old dell motherboard (I don't know model, pops up with DM061 at BIOS) 3 gigs of ram, and intel gigabit nic card.

You probably have to enable password login by root; HOWEVER, you're hardware is woefully inadequate for FreeNAS. You should either look at a different OS or buy new kit (Dell T20 is probably the cheapest way to go new).

See hardware recommendation sticky.

I mean, the hardware is not holding me down, I have an old babrracuda 80 gb sata 2 hard drive, that gives me 100 MB/s read and down, so that is really not a problem. And I use Freenas 9.10, and I could not find where password login by root is. Is it "disable password login" if it is, is on false, just as lock user is on false.

There's a separate checkbox for "login as root with password."

where? I look in users and look under root (modify user). there is no checkbox for "login as root with password"

Hi..
Im having the same problem, I dont see how to get to SSH configuration as referenced at the link... http://doc.freenas.org/9.10/freenas_services.html#ssh.
Im at the Console setup screen with choices 1 to 12,
1)....8)
9) Shell
10)System update
11) Reboot
12) Shutdown
I finally figured out how to update the BIOS and BMC, now Im stuck trying to SSH using Putty so I can start my burn in tests.

My setup:-
ASROCK Mother board C2550D4I
Crucial Memory CT2Kit102472BD160B (8x2)
Corsair Power supply SF450
Silverstone Case DS380
Hard Drives 4x WD 3TB Reds + 4x Seagate Nas 3Tb

You have to use a web browser to connect to the FreeNAS GUI interface available at the IP address displayed on your console. To do this, you will need a PC that's connected to the same network as your FreeNAS server. Once you get access to the GUI, go to the Services menu and select 'SSH Settings' to enable root login.

You don't configure SSH from the console shell, you configure it in the GUI.

I mean, the hardware is not holding me down

Well your hardware may not be "holding me down" but it will most assuredly let you down at some point if you don't follow the minimum hardware specifications.
