Reseting PSN Password to access old account on PS4? - Key with trinket in shabby door

I created an account, on my PS3, but then I created another account and forgot my old account's password. Now, I am trying to transfer my old account to my PS4.

I know my Online ID, and I know my Sign-In ID, but I still don't remember the password.

What else can I do to access my account on my PS4?



Best Answer

Try following the instructions on this page.
If I remember correctly you may need your birth date and if for some reason you didn't use your real one you can also have their support team walk you through a password reset (they won't/can't(?) tell you what your old password was, for obvious reasons).
