   If this is the case, rename the file:

   Panel
   mv cygwin-sshd-config.sh.txt cygwin-sshd-config.sh

4. Make sure the script is set to executable:

   No Format
   chmod +x /home/root/cygwin-sshd-config.sh

5. Run the script and specify the root account password as an argument, enclose the password in ticks in case special characters are used in the password:

   No Format
   /home/root/cygwin-sshd-config.sh '<PASSWORD>'

   You should see something similar to the following towards then end of the script output:
