sonos connects to another account

Hello   I bought my son his own Sonos. Now mine isn’t working and keeps telling me to log into his account.  How can I separate them please. We are both sharing the same wi-fi

Thank you

@theresa2865 . I think you are confusing accounts and apps and so it is hard to get a clear picture of what has happened. 

My best guess is that your son , by setting up a new system while  your speaker was still active, has wiped out your system. 

I think you will have to factory reset your speaker, power off your son's speaker, reset your app, then set up a new system using your speaker. 

Resetting your speaker would delete your Sonos playlists etc, but I think that ship has already sailed

Mr T. Unfortunately I can’t log into my account anymore. It just shows my sons email 

Many thanks 

Theresa

I was referring to your Sonos account online at Sonos.com, not in the Sonos app

    My speaker was definitely powered on while he set his own account up.

    When you go into the app you are NOT logging into your account.  Logging into your account is something you do on the web, via the Sonos website.  Whatever has happened to your system, your Sonos account should be intact.  It is not linked to a particular device.  Please see the earlier comment on this topic from @Mr. T .
