Thank you, I will try it. It seems that it really has something to do
with the account name, which I don't understand why it is so relevant. I
believe, that according to so many people who have had such problems
with mpich on windows, it would be nice, if developers made some changes
in the code that would simplify all this setting on windows. Or at least
write some hints on the webpage about how to solve these problems.
