It mentions in the OP that "default root password is not set on N900" - does that mean it's just blank and unused, or is there some sort of generic password, or does it mean I have to set one up somehow?
You have to install openssh-server on the N900, during the installation process, IIRC, it should ask you for a password. That becomes the "root" password for the device and you will use "root" and that password for WinSCP.

You won't be able to SSH to the device until openssh-server is installed.
