1. Make sure your PS4 system is successfully powered down.
2. Once your Playstation 4 Console is turned off, press AND hold the power button until you hear two consecutive beeps. One when you press the power button and another roughly 5-8 seconds after. 
3. Connect your Playstation 4 controller via USB cable and press the PS button on your controller. 
4. You are now into the Playstation 4's 'Safe Mode'

All data and settings will be lost by performing this step.Deletes all user data and restores the PS4 as if it just came out of the box. This option is the same as [ Initialize PS4 ] in the (Settings) menu. System software (firmware) is not deleted.
