Thanks for the hint! Now I changed the field in "/etc/passed" from 
"/home/Administrator" to "/cygdrive/h" and ssh stopped complaining.

The reason I cannot set my home to "/home/Administrator" is that I am 
not the only administrator user using the system. But everyone of us 
gets his own home drive mapped to "H:\".
