You have the wrong syntax for the '-d' flag.
See <http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#mkpasswd> or 'mkpasswd 
--help'.
But if you aren't trying to log in with a domain user, then it's not 
important that you
add the domain accounts at this time.

Given where you started from, it may be more direct for you to remove your
Cygwin installation (see the FAQ for details) and reinstall.  Configuring 'sshd'
would likely be quicker and easier in the new installation using 
'ssh-host-config'
and 'ssh-user-config' than hunting down all the wrong settings and correcting
them, assuming that's your problem.  But yes, it's really impractical for the
Cygwin list to support any and all sites out there with information about Cygwin
packages so if you're having a problem with configuration steps outlined from
someone else's site, your best bet for help related to that information is to
contact them about it.
