Anything that's not a real Windows console window is a pty as far as
Cygwin is concerned, and a plain pipe as far as win32 is concerned.
Starting a cmd doesn't fix the issue because that cmd is still talking
to what it sees as a pipe.

You can just start a new console window for "net use" with cygstart; I
believe specifying the password on the command line should be fine.
Another option is trying the conin program, which uses black magic to
give a program a real console for input.
