2. Use following commands to create user and group/password creation,
   net user root test at 123 /add
   mkdir \"Documents and Settings"\root\.ssh
   cd \"Documents and Settings"
   cacls root /T /P everyone:F 
   cd \

empty for no passphrase.
4. Copy the id_rsa.pub key as authorized_keys2
5. Restart the openssh service.
6. Prompting for password while checking self authentication using 'ssh
root at IPAddress pwd' command.

After doing all these steps (public key sharing) user should not promt
for password. Is there anything I have to change in sshd_config file?

OpenSSH 4.2 is quite old and not supported by the developers. Please
try to recreate your problem with a recent version (i.e. 5.1) and
attach a server debug trace.

I found various download path's for OpenSSH 5.1 on net (google) but I
am not able to download from those links, those links are not working.
Do you have any particular path from where I can download the OpenSSH
5.1 for Windows?

The best place to get OpenSSH for Windows is as part of Cygwin:
http://www.cygwin.com/

Cygwin tracks the current version of OpenSSH quite closely.

If you can replicate this bug with the most recent version of OpenSSH,
and after checking with a Cygwin support site then please reopen this
bug.
