The first step for you is to change your password in the online portal of the university (service.hmt-rostock.de). Enter your user name and the initial password in the upper right corner. You will then be prompted to enter a new password. Please choose a secure password that contains at least nine characters (small and capital letters, numbers, and special characters, but no umlauts ä, ö, ü and no "ß"). If you forget your password, you can reset it via this page too. For more information click here: Forgotten password instructions.
