Can you remember the password you typed?
It would have only changed it if you typed in the same password twice and
confirmed.

As cygwin is an unix emulation layer ontop of windows is thus uses windows
credentials (username,name,password etc) and once changed it is set in nt
stone. Unless you have a recovery disk that has an up-to-date version of
your password on it, you will have to re-install...
