Hello, this is a bit of a weird predicament, so please help me if you can.

I need to turn off HDCP on my PS4, but I dont have a functional screen/monitor/TV to be able to visualize the system. The only way I can do this is to use the controller without being able to see what im clicking/choosing. For example I know how to turn my PS4 onto rest mode without looking at the screen.

Can anyone guide me on the exact motions to go through in order to turn off HDCP? I think I know how to do it once I get to the Home Screen. But one thing im not 100% sure, when you scroll UP from the Home Screen, what specific option does it go to first? I thought it was "notifications" but ive seen YT videos that go straight to "Settings". Once im at settings I need to scroll all the way down, then up one to get to "system". Then I go down 4 clicks, then unblock HDCP, then confirm "yes" by clicking X.

As you can see this is quite a problem for me. Please help.

Edit: I also thought there might be a way to use Safe Mode but even when I boot on Safe Mode at 480p, the game capture is still saying its protected by HDCP and won't show any visuals.
