    Create a new user with 'adduser USERNAME', then 'passwd USERNAME' to set the password.
    Go into /etc/ssh/sshd_config, and set PermitRootLogin to 'no', Protocol to '2', then save.
    Execute 'service sshd restart', then login as USERNAME, to get to root console, use 'su -'.

    Do you have AllowUsers set for only root in your config by chance?

    What happens when you try to login as another user?

    # override default of no subsystems
    Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server
    AllowUsers root
    AllowUsers admin

    If only logging in as root and admin works, then that's the cause of your issue.

    Add any additional users below this as "AllowUsers user" (same syntax as above) and restart sshd then you should be fine.

    Are you using DirectAdmin?
