I need to setup logging in as root to my system via ssh. How would I do this in plesk? I already tried my plesk admin password and it's not working.
 
It's set up by default. You'll need to know your root password though, which is not the same as your Plesk admin password.
 
You should talk to your server provider as they will tell you what password to use and can provide you instructions.
