I had previously (about 3 weeks ago) modified nsswitch.conf to something like this passwd: compat winbind shadow: compat group: compat winbind and could login without problems. As soon as I put passwd: files compat winbind shadow: files compat group: files compat winbind and restarted the system, I could login as root or whatever I wanted. It's weird, though ... A big THANK YOU to all of you for the advices and the time spent for my problem!
