That's correct. When installing the newer versions of Sony software they gave you the option to auto-create an Adobe account at the same time with the same user id and password for both Sony & Adobe accounts. The intent was to simplify the process that you would only need one account & software program to authorize your ereader, shop, download books and transfer them. You didn't need to really understand about Adobe Digital Edition software and DRM.
Sony would have no way of knowing who used this method and who kept separate unique accounts. Therefore as a precautionary measure they are just making everyone reset.
