Any interesting syslog entry from sshd?  Any error message in
/var/log/sshd.log?

If not, try this:

- Deinstall the sshd service: cygrunsrv -R sshd
- Edit /etc/passwd and remove the sshd account entry.
- Remove the sshd account: net user sshd /delete
- If you didn't change much in your /etc/ssh_config and /etc/ssdh_config
  files, remove them.
- Run ssh-host-config again.
- Run ssh-user-config for your own (and each other used) account.
- Restart the sshd service.
