password authenticiation problem

- Subject: password authenticiation problem
I have installed cygwin on my WindowsXP laptop. When I try to ssh to
username@127.0.0.1 it won't accept my password. I have changed my
password and used the passwd command a few times to try to fix the problem.
One curious thing: the prompt says "USERNAME@LAPTOP". My computer name
is LAPTOP but the USERNAME it gives is not the same as the windows
account username that I have set. I think it is an old one that used to
use. I tried ssh using that username, but it wouldn't work either.
I set up a new account with a new username and password and tried it all
over again. That woudn't accept the password either.
This must be a common problem but I was not able to find it in the
archives. I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Beverly
