What it means
PlayStation's official page describes NP-104433-5 as an issue signing in. It tells you to go to Settings > Users and Accounts > Sign in; if you are already signed in, to use Settings > Users and Accounts > Other > Sign Out and then sign in again, and finally to restart the PS5 console. The sign-in guide adds that you need an account and an internet connection to sign in, and that you may be signed out at certain times, such as after a system software update or a network outage. The code does not mean the console is faulty.
