There are many questions like this one and many other good links, one of these link is: Link1 But this answer is useful too: This

I must not move all of the users from the old to the new, only some of them. I did already the part of adding the user and copying the hash password on the new server with the exception that the users got a new UID and in the /etc/shadow I only added the hash password in place of "!".

There is no way I'm able to sync the system password of the users with the samba's one.

I created a test user and I've done the same thing, but I also run the command smbpasswd -a userTest with the result that after setting a random password and a service restart, this user can log into its folder (It's like I created a new samba user then.. nothing special and not even close to my goal).

But, I do not know the samba password of others and I can't even move all of them (not all and not again).

Do you know how sohuld I proceed? You'd help me a lot!

EDIT: Samba server, Ubuntu 14.04 | Clients, All Windows 7 (connected through vpn) | smb.conf is handmade and working, no need to post really

Probably it is not possible to just "convert" existing users to samba users. I'd let them set their password with smbpasswd command
