Could you stop the service, as described on the page you mention, and 
then start it manually by doing the following:

sshd -D -dd


Once this is running, try to ssh to it from another cygwin window.
The instance of sshd should process one connection - failed or not.
Post the output from sshd so that we can get a better idea of what's 
happening.

As a thought though.. Running any firewalls on that machine? (They 
/shouldn't/ affect localhost connections, but I don't trust them...
