You should try two things:

- Make sure to login with the Administrator account case-sensitive.
  If your account is called "Administrator", then use an uppercase
  'A' when logging in.

  This case-sensitivity issue is a temporary workaround for a
  potential security problem in OpenSSH.  This will be rectified
  with OpenSSH 8.0 which allows to login case-insentive again.

- If that doesn't help, switch the user running the sshd service from
  "cyg_server" to SYSTEM (the services GUI calls it "LocalSystem")

  Cygwin switched the logon method and this method doesn't run
  under the "cyg_server" account sometimes.  However, switching
  back to "LocalSystem" instead of having to create a special
  "cyg_server" service account is one of the advantages of the
  new logon method.  For details, see
