My task failed even though I did correct

I restricted the root login to no in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file but my task has been failed. Attached my screenshot

@pkmisma, Lines starting with # are ignored. So your modification to PermitRootLogin was ignored by sshd. You need to restart the service too.

@pkmisma, you need to uncomment PermitRootLogin no.
