Here's a good start to answering your question:
Where is the `su' command?
<http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_4.html#SEC42>
You're much better off using OpenSSH though to switch user contexts (vs
manipulating the system so you can use 'login' as the FAQ suggests).
Make a user "root" if you want to using "net user" but the privileged
user account on Windows is "Administrator". That may be what you're
looking for.

Hi
When I perform an su I get the error message -
"su - user root does not exist"
How can I create the root user?
Do I need root?
Regards
Uli
