Try changing permitrootlogin to say "without-password".
This will block ssh root logins, but allow it only if your
using keys with it. (doesn't matter if keys have password or not)
Permissions and ownership of your .ssh folder matter too.
If it gets changed to something other than the default set when
its first created, then it will break the key based ssh login.
You can simply delete it, and attempt an ssh connection to somewhere
so it re-creates it with proper permissions.
