Did you read /usr/doc/Cygwin/inetutils-1.3.2.README?

How did you launch mkpasswd? Which command line switches did you use?

Do you actually have another NT user besides administrator?

Forget using crypt for generating passwords when running NT/W2K.
Under NT the passwords saved in the SAM database are used and the
password entry in /etc/passwd is ignored. Crypt is only useful for
9x/ME users.
