How to Get Your Password for a PS3
The Sony PlayStation 3's free online network allows gamers to play with and against one other in multiplayer games. The PlayStation Network (PSN) also has games available for purchase on its online store as well as a multiplayer interactive social networking program called PlayStation Home. Every PSN user has a unique sign-in that identifies him by username and keeps record of all purchases made and game trophies earned. If the PSN sign-in password is lost or forgotten, users need to reset it to sign into the network again.
