I have a windows xp home machine with windows password setup. I want to implement wake on lan so that it comes to the desktop screen from startup without manually entering the password. Can I provide the windows password in any way so that it can be used for authentication? I'm ok with removing the windows password, but the ssh server (with cygwin) requires a password and it's directly linked to the windows password. When I set cygwin password for a user, it sets the windows password for the same user. Is it possible to set a password for cygwin which is not linked to the windows password?
