I realy hope I don´t have to (but I have a feeling that it will end up that way...)
Nonono... use a Linux DVD and boot to a rescue system. Mount the hold root dir and edit the /etc/passwd file (under the old root, not the rescue root). Simply remove the password for root. Then you can boot up, log in, and change the password back.

I realy would like to THANK you all for your help. Without your great help I would never have my "system back". The root password was not wrong, but the system told me that It was (when the right answere should be ´root login is not allowed´).
