How to Remove All PS3 Systems From a PSN Account

If a PlayStation 3 user wants to play games online, download games and demos from the PlayStation Store or use any other PlayStation Network features, they must first create a PlayStation Network account. Once created, this PSN account can be used on up to five PS3 systems. If, after you link your PSN account to multiple systems, you want to remove the account from these systems, you must have access to each individual console to do so.
