What about the following from the README?
[2] The "$" prompt indicates running as the "postgres" user. Log in
as "postgres" or use ssh to emulate Unix's "su" command.
The former above is just the old fashion Windows way -- logon at the
logon prompt. The latter is much more convenient assuming you already
have sshd set up...

su does *not* work under Cygwin -- search the Cygwin archives for the
details.
