When you go to sign in it will ask you to change your password via a PC. However if you forgot your password you can reset it by entering your email and date of birth.
Now, what Sony forgot is that their database was hacked. Peoples info was stolen and that hacker(s) have your data. That means they have your date of birth.
So you are at risk once again. It HAS been exploited by hackers already. This means your account CAN be stolen!
As a result all webpage logins/password reset options are now offline or "Under Maintenance"
Nobody yet knows what the new password reset page may contain.

"Unfortunately this also means that those who are still trying to change their password via Playstation.com or Qriocity.com will be unable to do so for the time being," Sony said. "This is due to essential maintenance and at present it is unclear how long this will take.
"In the meantime you will still be able to sign into PSN via your PlayStation 3 and PSP devices to connect to game services and view Trophy/Friends information."
Sony later tweeted: "Clarification: this maintenance doesn't affect PSN on consoles, only the website you click through to from the password change email."

There is at least one positive thing to take from this. Nyleveia discovered this exploit and posted about it online (via Twitter), and contacted Sony to take a look at it. Sony did look into it. So maybe Sony has started to listen to the public

Also, They still won't listen to the hackers
Also, They still won't listen to the hackers
In my opinion it is one of the most relevant thing to go into this section as their website has been Exploited and your information is at risk. Most of the things posted here is complete fakes
Just because it has nothing to do with "3.61 CFW" doesn't mean it's not relevant
I know they wont listen to the hackers but at least they aren't completely arrogant
