I'm new at using cygwin. I need to have user with root privileges to execute a daemon, but I have discovered I don't have root user, however I do have a group called root. There isn't any user assigned to this group, so I don't really have any user with those privileges. I have a user called "administrador" and I have also a group called "administradores" with ID 544, but the user "administrador" haven't this ID assigned, it have ID 513. How can I create a root user or something similar to have root privileges to execute the daemon? Thanks!
