Thanks to Brett and Larry for your replies. If I understood Larry correctly the Cygwin and Windows passwords are internally linked. Is there anyway i.e. any setting that I can use to unlink this i.e. can I have different passwords for Cygwin and Windows?
If this is not possible is it possible for me to make a new user in Cygwin without a new user being created in Windows for me creating a new user in Cygwin also creates new users in Windows.
