i'm quite a newbie with linux and don't know
how to fix this problem.
Should I reinstall linux (RedHat 7) or can I get
generate a new passwd file ?
Thanks for your help.

well you said that you can use samba
new passwd file is not required
can you edit the passwd file?
if yes
it should be
root:x:0:0:...blah blah
remove the x
so that it becomes
root::0:0:...
now on the login prompt
just type root
and you should get into your system
don't forget to make a new passwd!
keep posted
