This may sound stupid but I have cygwin running OK but I never put in a password for the superuser and now I can't add users.Is there a default password?

On Cygwin there is no superuser. Use Windows to add users, then "mkpasswd > /etc/passwd" to update /etc/passwd.


incidentally, this is the wrong list for this. Reply-to has been set to the proper list. Future inquiries that don't relate specifically to Cygwin/X go to mailto:cygwin@cygwin.com
