There's a big difference: I assume you have started sshd from
LocalSystem account as service, isn't it?

As I mentioned in the README (did you read the README?) you can either
logon to any user account using password authentication or you can
start sshd under your own user account and then logon using RSA
authentication.

It's impossible to change the user if no password is given!

You are expecting bash but it looks as if your /etc/passwd entry
contains /bin/sh as shell.

/bin/sh under Cygwin is a stripped (but fast) version of ash with
almost no features but plain bourne shell ones.

To get a bash as login shell you'll have to change your /etc/passwd
entry accordingly.
