Since the new 3.61 firmware for the Playstation Network, you're required to change the password of your account in order to get online (this is if your state / region is online). Remember, you MUST have a working e-mail that can receive notifications.
Step 1.) Sign in by using your (real) e-mail & password to your Playstation Network account. Once again, your e-mail MUST be real!
Step 2.) Select the 'Change Your Password' option after 'logging on', once you've done this, just follow the steps as you regularly would.
There are a few problems that you may encounter along the way:
- If the screen for entering your new password doesn't pop up, this means your account hasn't been activated on Playstation Network using that account. If that happens; Sony will send you an automatic message to your e-mail, where in that message it'll take you to the Playstation website, to change your password.
- If you've forgotten your password, you have to change it on the Playstation website.
If you've forgotten your password, then click the 'Forgot Your Password?', then you'll type in your e-mail associated with that account & your date of birth, & for the third time, IT MUST BE A REAL E-MAIL. If the e-mail isn't real, it'll give you an error. Then all you have to do is access your e-mail address & follow the steps in the message.
If the PSN account you're using is a sub account, you may be required to first sign in using the master account that governs it to change the password.
