Read the above page again, please.  If I understood your statement
correctly, you've edited /etc/passwd and /etc/group directly.  This is not
*supposed* to have any effect, unless you use the appropriate Windows
tools to adjust group memberships.

The usual place to look for the actual errors when starting sshd is the
Windows event log.

FWIW, you can try killing the corresponding cygrunsrv process (using
either the Task Manager or "/bin/kill -f") instead of rebooting.
