I'm trying to find a solution for my files being listed with '????????'

The following page partially addresses this:
http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html
It says that:
--------------------------
If another user (or a Windows group, treated as a user) is not present
in /etc/passwd, the uid of that user will have a special value of -1
(which would be shown by ls as 65535). The user name shown in this
case will be '????????'.
--------------------------
I would like to modify the /etc/passwd file so that it shows me
as the owner of these files instead of '????????'. That page
shows how /etc/passwd is used to create a mapping between Windows
Security SIDs and Cygwin uids.
How do I find/list the Windows SIDs of these files so that I can
create the proper mapping in /etc/passwd?
How about:
$ mkpasswd -d >> /etc/passwd
$ ls -l <file>
and see who owns it?

I went to a general store, but they wouldn't let me buy anything specific.
