I think that the password I'm typing in is correct. It worked fine a week
ago. I do nothing but try login using root by wrong password.

Logging in via ssh as root is a no-no; it's thus disabled by default in
Debian (although you can over-ride it by changing the "PermitRootLogin"
line in "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" -- but I don't recommend that).
It works for me to login via another user and then to "su - root". I
hate to mention the obvious, but you are typing the correct root
password, right (no CAPSLOCK, etc)?
