The message in english:

$ net helpmsg 1069

The service did not start due to a logon failure.

Sorry I didn't realize your user name is "root", seems that cygrunsrv is 
not able to change users which is a Windows capability option.

You can use the other alternative (ssh -i ...) or add the required 
rights or capabilities, or use stunnel instead of ssh.
