1. how can i set open ssh to manual start and which command i use to start it manually?
1. get root terminal (open terminal, type "root")
2. run command "update-rc.d -f remove ssh"

To start/stop the SSH server in root shell use command "/etc/init.d/ssh start" or "/etc/init.d/ssh stop"

No, you should be able to get a root shell by simply typing "root" in the terminal.

I don't think so, not that it matters much upon next install it will probably prompt you for a new one anyway.

kwotski was faster than me: but the update-rc.d is in general the recommended way to muck around with the rc.d directories.
