Q: Stuck in reset (iPod 5th Gen)

I tried to use the reset from the settings to completely reset my iPod to its factory defaults and now its stuck. Its been stuck for the last hour on the loading animation similar to what appears on the status bar when a page in safari is being loaded. It finished the part of the reset where the apple logo shows and a loading bar shows the progress of the hardware encryption being removed. I started the process while plugged into the wall with a usb wall adapter, then moved the usb to itunes- with no results- after i thought that it could be stuck, as it is now.
