With Uppercase i do have a login prompt, but (with the good password), I cant login (remotly or localy). I also have Information event : sshd: PID 3788: Login name Administrator does not match stored username administrator sshd: PID 3788: Invalid user Administrator from 10.0.0.8 port 60876 then three : sshd: PID 3788: Failed password for invalid user Administrator from 10.0.0.8 port 60876 ssh2 > > - If that doesn't help, switch the user running the sshd service from > "cyg_server" to SYSTEM (the services GUI calls it "LocalSystem") > This worked, like a charm, thank you 😊 > Cygwin switched the logon method and this method doesn't run > under the "cyg_server" account sometimes.
