I just bought a used PRS-505, owner cant deauthorize :(

I was trying to deauthorize from my new account but it would just freeze the ebook library.
The previous owner tried to deauthorize but it just says processing but it doesn't seem like it is going to finish.

well, it wasn't so bad. I had to press the reset button for 10 seconds, then volume + & bookmark button for one minute and that resets the drm in the unit.

Were you then able to authorize the Reader to your account?

I will have to do this for my girlfriend's 505 that I purchased on ebay.

You should be able to. I also bought a used one and had no problems deauthorizing the old owner and authorizing me. HTH
