title: Root user/sudo equivalent in Cygwin?
body: <p>I'm trying to run a bash script in Cygwin.  </p>
  
  <p>I get <code>Must run as root, i.e. sudo ./scriptname</code> errors.  </p>
  
  <p><code>chmod 777 scriptname</code> does nothing to help.  </p>
  
  <p>I've looked for ways to imitate sudo on Cygwin, to add a root user, since calling "su" renders the error <code>su: user root does not exist</code>, anything useful, and have found nothing.  </p>
  
  <p>Anyone have any suggestions?</p>
