OK, if this is a freshly installed Raspberry pi, the username is *NOT* going
to be debian, so typing

root@debian:/usr/lib/modules# ssh debian@192.168.0.213

is *never* going to work.

If it is a Raspberry pi running Raspberry pi OS, you need to start with

root@debian:/usr/lib/modules# ssh pi@192.168.0.213

And then the password is raspberry.

The only machines *I* know of with a default username of debian are the Beagle
boards (BeagleBone Black and PocketBeagle).  For *those* machine the username
/ password is debian / debian.
