Nevertheless, this is what I did to make it work after not working.  I realize some of this may be unnecessary or even counterproductive.  I don't know enough Cygwin and/or Windows to say what made a difference so I'm just telling you what I did in the off chance that it helps somebody find the real problem.

Hi

Thanks for the help offer, I desperately need it here :)


I actually have tried all those steps many times :( including rebasing. 
But I will try these again in the order of steps you have provided.  The 
only thing I did not try was using alphanumeric password


thanks again
