Could you send us the output of mkpasswd and indicate > both the name you use to log in into Windows and the name returned by id -un I didn't run mkpasswd manually because I have changed the account user name before installing Cygwin and assumed that it would be run by the regular initialization. Isn't that the case? If not, and if I have to run it manually in this case too, it is not clear to me what I have to do. Documents I find for mkpasswd describe it as either printing user information or generating passwords, and it doesn't look like that's what I want to do here. I don't know what parameters to use. The mkpasswd I have installed seems to be useful only for printing /etc/passwd information. Can you help me here?
