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
