<![CDATA[How to change your PSN password!]]>You have to change your password to be able to sign in on your PS3!

Find out how to change your PlayStation Network account password on PC.

An unauthorized access to PlayStation Network was confirmed in April 2011 and, as a security measure, a process for all customers to change their PlayStation Network account passwords was added.

Starting on 15 May 2011, an error message such as one of those shown below might be displayed when you attempt to sign in to PlayStation Network from a PSP system:

An error has occurred.
An error has occurred. You have been signed out of PlayStation®Network.
If such an error message is displayed and you cannot sign in to PlayStation Network, you must change your PlayStation Network password as follows.

Note:

When you change your password, an email message will be sent to the email address registered with PlayStation Network (your sign-in ID). If you cannot receive messages at your registered email address, you will not be able to change your password.
If you cannot receive messages at the email address you have registered as your sign-in ID, prepare an email address that you can use to receive messages and contact us at uk.playstation.com/contact before you attempt to change your password.
Depending on your country/region of residence and the network environment you are using, you may not be able to change your PlayStation Network account password or make use of PlayStation Network services for some time after 15 May 2011.
The ability to change PlayStation Network account passwords and use PlayStation Network services - except for PlayStation Store - will be made available in all regions within a few days.

I do also have a 40 GB and I have to delete a game if I buy a new one (To little room 😞 )

I got about 3gb free space atm, but I've deleted A LOT. I'm just glad that L.A. Noire only took 1400 mb 🙂

Don't put a question mark in the end of your sentence then! -.-

How should I know if it worked or not? I've never got the YLOD or bought a new PS3 (even though 40gb is kinda bad)

I think you need the original system you created your account to do it through the system :S
