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
