You will be able to login as root it just seems like it is taking forever for nsswitch to look elsewere for the info. You will have to read up on nsswitch.conf, but off the top of my head i believe doing something along the lines of:

passwd: ldap [UNAVAIL=continue] files
group: ldap [UNAVAIL=continue] files

will tell nsswitch to move on and look at the files for the info if the ldap is not running.
