Technical Help

i just bought my Sony PS Vita a few hours ago and i was messing around, i guess having a little to much fun with it and i ended up doing something im not sure wether it was from a format i did, not to sure why or a restore again not to sure why i did it.   but now when i go to login to my psn account on my vita it doesnt let me it says i have to login with an account that is linked to thie ps vita system.   During the day i was on the PSN until maybe an hour or so ago and now i cant get on, is it because of an accident format or a restore that i performed? is there any way i can fix this and get back onto the network?

I would say that you will need to format the Vita. Go to Settings > Format > Restore the PS Vita System. It will say it will close all applications (you may have to do this twice) and then select no when it asks you to format the memory card. The system should restart and you can log into your own PSN account during the setup.

The problem is that because you can only use 1 PSN account and it ties it to the memory card so the only way to fix this is to format the system but at least you won't have to format the memory card as well.
