Disabling root login will force any attempted hackers to use 2 passwords instead of only one. Making it more difficult for a hacker to break into your server.

You must have another user which is NOT root already on the box

vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Search for line

PermitRootLogin yes

and change it to

PermitRootLogin no

restart sshd by typing
/etc/init.d/sshd restart
