My crystal ball tells me that you have cygwin configured to use Unix
line endings but your CVSROOT/passwd file has DOS line endings, so it's
trying to find a user named cvsroot<CR>.  The solution should be
obvious.

Since you're running on Windows, you might be better off using CVSNT
(which was specifically designed for Windows) rather than regular CVS:
