SFTP Authentication Failed, Need to retrieve password

SFTP Authentication Failed, Need to retrieve password
Hi there,

I am using Filezilla to access SFTP, for some way, i cannot access with the root password, i did checked the /root/passwords.txt file and it matches the one i input to login using root as a username.

When i try to connect, i get Authentication Failed. Unfortunately...  Sad

Code:
Status:    Waiting to retry...
Status:    Connecting to xx.xxx.xx.xxx...
Response:    fzSftp started, protocol_version=8
Command:    open "root@xx.xxx.xx.xxx" 22
Command:    Pass: ****************
Error:    Authentication failed.
Error:    Critical error: Could not connect to server

That is exactly what i get now. I did checked the file, but still cant connect to SFTP, any idea? Thanks in advance for your time and attention.
