Cool.  Applied.

While playing with it, I'd suddenly missed a short text in the usage,
that the username has to be the windows username, not the Cygwin
username.  Passwd has been written before all that ntsec stuff AFAIR,
so it has no idea that the user "Administrator" might be renamed
to "root" in /etc/passwd.  Do you think you could add something
appropriate?  Or perhaps change passwd to take the Cygwin name and
convert it to the windows name???
