I restarted the PS4, it connects to the router, but it won't sign me in. What do I do to fix this?

Just navigate to your local PSN settings and see if it prompts you. Otherwise you might need a system update.

What's the error code. Can you use the ps4 web browser? Can you sign in or load the psn site on your phone, PC?

If you can use the ps4 browser, but not sign in with your PC, you're probably IP banned. Another way to test is sign into psn from your phone while you're not connected to your wifi.

Somewhere...
Have you tried logging in from a browser? Sometimes there are e-mail/password change prompts and other notifications will prevent you from logging in. Might happen when you suddenly change IPs or wrong passwords.

Also rebuilding database might help (if it's a ps4 problem).

Post whatever error code that appears when you log in, will help us identify the problem :)

Well, I just reset my password on PC... but it's still not letting me log into it on PS4.

Everything works... except for the PSN sign in, it just says "Failed." It says "your account has been locked or your password has been reset" but I never sent a request for my password to be reset.

So if you have reset the password and it hasn't fixed it then your account has been locked. Contact Sony
