What password does SSH use in the DD-WRT firmware? I have a DIR-615 router. I enabled SSH but it's telling me access denied. I'm using the same credentials I use to log into the web interface.

Yep. After reading man ssh I found that one can do this:
Code: ssh -l root 192.168.1.1
Problem solved and no need to sudo.
Thanks for giving me a step in the right direction.
The following is purely for SEO to help others find this fix:
Code: owner@192.168.1.1's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
