Can't create PSN account. It says incorrect email/password but it shouldn't.

Just got a PS3, I connected to the internet fine and downloaded the update.
However when I try to enter my email address and password (the very same address and password I just used to log into this site) it says it is incorrect.
The same thing happens when I try to create an account via the PS3 website, and I've even tried a friends email address and it said that was "incorrect" too.
Why is it saying that my email address and password that I use every day is "incorrect"?

Please help.

What do you mean by this?
I tried it first via the PS3 console, then I tried it on the PS3 website but it made no difference.

That's good to know but where I'm having problems is when you have to enter your details to CREATE your acount in the first place.

It's just really strange, it's like someone asking for your name and when you tell them they says it's wrong.

This is where the problem is, on the 3rd stage:

"Enter the sign-in information for the master account that will be associated with the new sub account."

This is the result:

"The sign-in ID and password combination is not correct.

Please check your entries carefully."

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Create a NEW account, not a sub-account. Unless you created an account already, you will be creating a new master account. Because they were asking for your e-mail address of your master account.

did you do a system update first?

psn is really weird about signing in.. i lost my original account cause for whatever reason it just decided to quit accepting my information, tells me its wrong even tho its not.. had to create a whole new account just to purchase DLC, and when it decides to quit accepting this one i'll have to create yet another.. :roll:
