Issues getting into ssh on port 22222

Hello…thx for this lovely piece of software and it huge environment around it.
I wanted to dive into it a little deeper and try to get the root access via ssh running.
I have my fresh set of keys, i have the stick, the authorized_keys file with the public key in the hass machine usb and i.ported it qith the command ha os import and even rebooted a couple times already.
I have hass answer on port 22222 qhich i hope is already a good sign, but when i try to connect i get server refused key and a root login prompt…
As far as i understand right, the key pair should give me straight access without login as root prompt.
Does this sound any familiar and any thoughts to get in for me at hand?

Thx in advance.
Plattform is all updated and bare metal install with supervisor and all on a i3 with 8 gig ram

Soooo…i managed to get i to the ssh after testing around alot…
Thx either way.
