Please read and follow the guidelines of <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>
for any follow-up report to this one (and any future reports as well).  It 
will help those here on the list understand what you're doing and where you 
see a problem. 

In the absence of this information, I'll recommend that you look into 
and install and configure the 'openssh' package.  It has a facility that 
will allow you to log into a machine as a different user.
