Have you followed all the steps in the Cygwin README file for
Postgres, exactly? That file is located at
/usr/doc/Cygwin/postgresql-*.README.
Note, in particular, that those steps have you run initdb a second
time to create the empty database owned by the 'postgres' user, a
necessary step for running postgresql as a service associated with
that postgres user.
