Marco and others: I also had the same problem, and ultimately was able to solve the problem by:
- Completely removed any references to sshd and cyg_server in the Windows user accounts and also in /etc/passwd -Removed the "CYGWIN sshd" Service (in a Run-as-Admin command line run 'sc delete sshd' ) - Ran the cygwin terminal As-Admin and the /bin/ssh-host-config script, re-creating the deleted accounts and services by exactly following this guide: ( under 'Configuring OpenSSH in Cygwin')L http://www.howtogeek.com /howto/41560/how-to-get-ssh-command-line-access-to-windows-7-using-cygwin/ After that (and running 'net start sshd'), ssh services were restored. If you're still having this problem (and for anyone who had to madly google this problem) I hope this helps.
