Get NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED from smbClient / Samba despite Linux root

I always get the access denied error when I try to connect smbClient to my samba shared directory.

So I try to use:

sudo smbclient "\\leon-pop-os\img_mount" -U root

I get as Expected:

Password for [WORKGROUP\root]:

but when I login with my root password, I get:

tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

The password is correct. I copy paste it with mouse rightclick.

In my Samba conf I already put in the GLOBAL:

follow symlinks = yes
wide links = yes
unix extensions = no

and my img_mount looks like this:

[img_mount]
comment = Windows Stuff
path = /mnt/img_mount
available = yes
writeable = yes
read only = no
valid users = root
force user = root
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
wide links = yes

the img_mount directory is a mounted img from another hard disk. I mounted it with:

sudo mount -o rw,loop ./Windows.img /mnt/img_mount

The goal is to make it reachable in my KVM VM, I wanted to transfer all the p2v Windows files from image to my new bootable Windows 11 QCOW2.

Excuse me, but did you add the root user to Samba, with 'smbpasswd -a root' ? Or tried to do this using another user, maybe that would be safer?
