Run the service as your user so it can use your keys :

   -u, --user <user name>    Optional user name to start service as.
                             Defaults to SYSTEM account.
   -w, --passwd <password>   Optional password for user. Only needed
                             if a user is given. If a user has an empty
                             password, enter `-w '. If a user is given but
                             no password, cygrunsrv will ask for a password
                             interactively.
