What does the event log show?  In any case, you should not only check
permissions on sshd.exe, but also on all files which are accessed by sshd.
The general rule is that all these files must be owned by the user running
sshd.  In your case Administrator.  If I'd want to run sshd under another
account for testing purposes, I'd do this:

$ chown <other-account> /etc/ssh* /var/empty

You should also have another look into the permissions of the private
host keys.  They should be very strong:

$ chmod 600 /etc/ssh_host*key
