Hi,

The ssh command is using the wrong IP address.  It should read:

ssh root at 192.168.0.202

You don't need to use sudo at the beginning of the command.  ssh doesn't
need root privileges.

192.168.0.200 is probably your computer, so the ssh prompt was expecting
your computer's root password.  If you're using a distro like Ubuntu where
there is no root account (or if sshd is configured not to allow root
logins), probably no password would ever work.  The phone's IP is
192.168.0.202 when you use USB networking.
