Do you have old /etc/passwd and /etc/group files?  I suggest removing
them for a start and see how Cygwin comes up.  After that we can go
into details what to change so that your account info is to your liking
again (perhaps even with new /etc/passwd and /etc/group files in certain
scenarios).

For the time being I also suggest to read the documentation on the
new account handling: https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html.


HTH,
