How to change your PS4 password, or reset your password if you've forgotten it
Just like your computer and phone, your PS4 has its own login and password.
If you ever need to change the password, it's easy to do, though the process varies depending upon whether you simply want to change the password — or if you must change it because you've forgotten your existing one.
Either way, when you create your new password, remember to make it strong by including at least 12 characters, upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and special symbols.
