PSN: how to change your password

So, from a few minutes we know that the PlayStation Network is going to be restored throughout the world. Come from several sources confirmed that the service would be available in Europe for almost everyone. What should we do when you can finally get back online with your beloved PS3? You first need to download and install the new firmware 3.61 and only after you change your password.

Here's how. Log in with your PSN ID (email address) and your old password. Select OK on the screen that asks you if you want to change it. Enter the new password on the next screen and continue to follow the onscreen instructions. When you're done you can finally access the PSN with (hopefully) renewed security, but there are a lot 'of problems you might encounter during the procedure just explained.

If the screen to type the new password does not appear, it means that your PS3 has never been registered with that account on the PlayStation Network. In this case, Sony will send an e-mail address you entered, from which you access the site for the exchange of data. If by chance you do not remember your password, you can change it online directly from the PSN.

Select the "Forgot Password" in the Cross Media Bar menu dedicated to the NDP, enter your ID, date of birth and select "Continue." Now check the email address you entered as the ID, open the mail from Sony and follow the instructions to change your password and gain access to the PSN. Do not forget also that if the PSN account that you are using is a sub-account, in order to change the password you enter with the main one.
