Sony, the Japanese conglomerate is one of the top companies in the world. The company's interests spread across consumer electronics, business electronics, gaming, finance and entertainment among other industries.

Due to the wide range of services offered by Sony, they often have different accounts for each service including PlayStation and Sony Mobile among many others. However, you can have a Sony account through which you can manage our accounts on all other Sony platforms. You can open a Sony account as long as you are using a Sony product.

The ability to manage all Sony related accounts from a single point can be both cumbersome and advantageous. You get more detailed help from the individual accounts but a single Sony account gives you centralized control which can help reduce the number of passwords and log in details you need to save and remember.

Resetting your Sony network password can be brought about by a variety of scenarios. Forgetting your password is the most common reason among them.

Another reason why you may want to reset your password may be suspicious activity in your Sony account which leads to taking preventive measures to avoid further compromise. A fraudulent party may also lock you out of your Sony account which leads to you using your Sony account to change your password. You may also just want to change your password to make it more secure.
