#You can do this using the PermitRootLogin directive. From the sshd_config manpage:
#
# Specifies whether root can log in using ssh(1). The argument must be “yes”, “without-password”, “forced-commands-only”, or “no”. The default is “yes”.
#
# If this option is set to “without-password”, password authentication is disabled for root.
#
#The following will accomplish what you want:
PasswordAuthentication yes
PermitRootLogin without-password
