Well I watched this video and the option I had to do was a hard reset. To do this you just need unplug the power supply from the ps4. Plug it back in, and do what's pretty much a factory reset. I believe it's option 7. Beware it will erase everything and reboot the system as if it's just purchased. Hope it works out for you.

    Restore default settings did it for me. Didnt lose anything and it was very quick, hopefully this helps the next person avoid some frustration.
