You're running W2K.  The password it's asking for is the one you use to 
login to Windows.  You don't need to create one for Cygwin.  If you do,
it will be ignored.

Yep, once you know "the secret".  You can't run services unless you install
for "All Users".  Installing for "Just Me" gets you 'user' mounts, which
are personal and not shared with anyone else (especially SYSTEM, which 
runs services).  So you wanted to install for "All Users".  You can simply
use "mount -s -f" to remount '/', '/usr/bin', and '/usr/lib' as 'system'
instead now, if you want to run 'sshd' as a service now.
