Do you have any steps to follow to create an admin user using ssh-user-config command? Because when I run ssh-user-config it is taking SYSTEM user as default user name and doesn't prompt to create new user for the purpose of connecting remotely to the target windows host which runs CYGWIN.

For that, you need a REGULAR user, for which you need to use a strong password and prepare it for key-based login.
See the documentation and the other reply from Marco.
