Remove PSN Account from PS VITA - Error NP-2100-3

There are usually a few steps that need overcoming when setting up any games system for the first time before its ready to play with, be it brand new or pre-owned. One problem we have found through our Gadget Helpline support service is that buyers of pre-owned PS Vita consoles sometimes find the previous owner’s PlayStation Network account details are still locked onto the device with no clear way of removing them!

Restoring the settings and a full PS Vita System Restore from the home screen seems to be to no avail and despite seeming to be the obvious route, the console will still only accept a PSN log in from its former master!

How do I create a PS Vita account ?

Signing up Select (Settings) > [Start] > [PlayStation™Network] > [Sign Up]. If you are already signed up on your system, [Sign Up] does not appear. Select [Create a New Account] and follow the screens. Your sign-in ID and password are saved on your system.
