"man mkpasswd", "man mkgroup".  Also, you should use ssh-host-config to
set up the sshd server.  For mor information, see
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README.

P.S. This may or may not be the right place, depending on what
instructions you used to set up your sshd service.  If you used the
abovementioned README file, this is the right place.
