Hello leiw, there is a toggle to enable password use for root/admin SSH login in server-manager > Remote Access panel.
Use of Public-Private Keys is not necessary.

This is not installed by default, but is certainly worth to have as it is a big increase on security.

On a stock SME Server without the configuration from the wiki you do can follow the manual: http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:Administration_Manual:Chapter11#SSH
