You can avoid having to alter the source code, other than the 'aux' 
references by:
copying the /etc/passwd entry related to your login and changing the 
username to 'root' ala

rthompso:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:500:513:U-xxxxxxxxxx\Administrator,S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-500:/home/rthompso:/bin/bash 
root:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:0:513:U-xxxxxxxxxx\Administrator,S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-500:/home/rthompso:/bin/bash

then, from the cygwin prompt, login as root, the passwd will be the same 
for both entries.
