You create users as usual in Windows and assign them passwords there
too. However, there is also a tool to change passwords from within
Cygwin: passwd
$ passwd --help
Usage: passwd (-l|-u|-S) [USER]
passwd [-i NUM] [-n MINDAYS] [-x MAXDAYS] [-L LEN]
User operations:
-l, --lock lock USER's account
-u, --unlock unlock USER's account
-S, --status display password status for USER (locked, expired, etc.)
System operations:
-i, --inactive set NUM of days before inactive accounts are disabled
(inactive accounts are those with expired passwords)
-n, --minage set system minimum password age to MINDAYS
-x, --maxage set system maximum password age to MAXDAYS
-L, --length set system minimum password length to LEN
Other options:
-h, --help output usage information and exit
-v, --version output version information and exit
