Well...

if you just want to be able to login one time, and then restrict the root account... try this:

comment this line:
#CONSOLE=/dev/console

on the file:
/etc/default/login

after that, you can now login to your machine remotely, but I'd recommend you:

after get logged in, uncomment again the line to continue restricting the access remotely.

Of course, the steps need to be done at console! :-)
