Can you log in with putty? If so go to

/etc/ssh/sshd_config

sudo nano

change the bottom to the following to allow access if you are blocked.

# Authentication:
LoginGraceTime 120
#PermitRootLogin without-password
PermitRootLogin yes
StrictModes yes

Also, I always add a root password by entering the following and typing a password

sudo passwd root

then when I use Filezilla I use root for username and the password I entered for full access.
