To get your PS4 to recognize your controller, first, connect the controller to the PS4 using a USB cable. Press the PS button on the controller. This should prompt your PS4 to recognize the controller and assign it to a user. If this does not work, you might need to reset the controller by inserting a small tool into the hole on the back of the controller near the L2 shoulder button to press the reset button for about 5 seconds. After resetting, try connecting the controller via USB again and press the PS button.
