Cannot login to PSN

I haven't logged on for ages and requested a password reset. The email came through and I have given all the data asked for. When I click submit to reset it I get a message saying that an error occurred during this Transaction. I'm keen to get it working as I got Watchdogs at the weekend and haven't been able to play yet!!

Any ideas?

Why would it be a transaction when all you are trying to do is reset your password and login,been on psn this afternoon and all connects fine.

Don't know what to suggest apart from running the internet connection test and seeing if your are connecting and stuff like that ?

Can Watchdogs be played offline??

I got the wording slightly wrong

"An error occurred while performing this operation"

Sounds like a PSN problem and not yours,so you got the same email address as login and have changed your password but it won't connect,is that correct or am I missing something,I'm guessing you have let your Playstation plus expire,or you don't use that,and are we talking Playstation 3 or 4

It must be a wide scale issue as I set up a new Hotmail account and liked it to a new PSN account. I tried a password reset and got exactly the same error.

Funny enough tonight when i put Watchdog in my playstation 4 it wouldn't connect to the network either and it hasn't for the past 2 hours.

Done a connection test and it didn't get past the first line and said error�..

Thats the trouble with mickey mouse networks!!!

Baling twine , gaffa tape and zip ties , Sony E3 stream fell over also .

not down on my ps3, I been playing lightning returns during the times of these posts and it uses PSN for some online stuff which has stayed online.
