tried it, but didn't work:
$ passwd -R
[etc]
Enter your current password:
Re-enter your current password:
Storing password failed: Function not implemented
Hi Corinna,
Did you *read* the aforementioned URL? It explains that a non-admin
needs cygserver to run passwd -R. As an admin you can enter the
password for other users, if you know it. See additionally
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#passwd
Of yourse I did :-), and I clicked on "Run as adminstrator" for the
Cygwin shell (otherwise the error message was different: Storing
password failed: bad file descriptor)
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
This is my fault. I broke this functionality in Cygwin 1.7.28-2,
because I changed a conditional expression the wrong way.

Hi Corinna,
no problem at all.
Sorry about that. I applied a fix to CVS. For the time being, you
need to use either Cygwin 1.7.27, or wait for the snapshot I'm going
to upload in the next half hour or so: http://cygwin.com/snapshots/
As I have a workaround now, I'll wait until this fix is available in a
release.
Best regards
Dominik
Corinna
