MATE ID is your Neptune code
Password: the letters "Ne" and 8 digits of your date of birth in this order: NeYYYYMMDD

YYYY stands for the year, MM for the month and DD for the day of your birthday.

After logging in, you have to change the pre-set password, and by changing it, you’ll activate your MATE account. (Note: If you have previously accessed MATE Wi-Fi, e-learning or Outlook, you already activated your account and created a password other than the pre-set one, so You don’t need to do it again.)
