Cygrunsrv does not require the ability to change users as sshd does. 
The service is configured to run as a given user in the service control
manager, and cygrunsrv is simply setting those options in the registry. 
This works fully.

I still think you were right in that the OP was incorrectly using their
ssh username/password when they should be using their Windows username
and password.
