dos via ssh shell access

Hi all,

I was playing around with shellaccess via ssh


1) i put in a strong password 12 char password but i left ssh on port 22 and now it apears that there is a hacker love fest trying break into my asg

2) I can no longer access the web interface (i suspect that its because of the timeout)


3) i never set a root password so does that mean root can not be accessed via shell?

4) is there a way from userlogin to get to anything that i should worry about

My intention is not to leave this open but im not in the physical area so Im not sure if i should tell the office users to pull the plug or wait it out till i can show up tomorrow
