I'm new at using cygwin. I need to have user with root privileges to

I do have a group called root. There isn't any user assigned to this

user called "administrador" and I have also a group called
"administradores" with ID 544, but the user "administrador" haven't this
ID assigned, it have ID 513. How can I create a root user or something
similar to have root privileges to execute the daemon?
Patricia,
Before asking how you can create a root user, why not tell us what you're
trying to achieve (i.e., which daemon you want to execute and why you
think it needs a root user).
