set CYGWIN=ntsec
bash --login

See the user's guide for more details.

Could be.  You apparently have a domain account.  This won't be part of the

ntsec is set (see above) AFAIK but you might eliminate that as a variable 
by logging is as a local user which is part of the local administrators 
group.
