(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); FIRST OFF, try to create the e-mail account that is listed if you haven't already. However if that doesn't work there is two ways to reset password: through a phone call or through their help site.
Phone Call:
-Must know e-mail entered and the EXACT username used. (can find e-mail where you log in on ps3)
-On hold for 10-15 minutes.
-They ask for personal info, and then later ask for an APPROPRIATE e-mail that you actually use so they can send a message to reset your password.
You can reach them through their phone number at: 800-345-SONY
NOTE: only works during their business hours.

For right now I'm assuming that since the PSN store is down as well that they are not having many things functioning like normal as of right now. You will probably just have to wait a couple days to be able to again :y:.

Ask them to verify it through their e-mail and ask them to change it to a specific password for you :y:.
