That should be "admin users = root" You can map the NT user
"Administrator" to root in your smbusers file.

Set in smb.conf [globals], username map = /etc/samba/smbusers

In smbusers put:

        root = Administrator

You should check the root SID by:

        pdbedit -Lv root

If you then do:

        wbinfo -s 'root-sid'

This should correctly resolve. If not, then you have a config file
problem. Send it to me and I'll get back to you.
