Can't unlock ipod

About a week ago I had some trouble with my computer and my ipod battery was dead, but I couldnt charge it. Thats not my problem right now, but before that happened I set a new password. After a week without using it I forgot the password. Now after guessing too many times my ipod says "iPod Disabled. Connect to iTunes."

When I connect to itunes it says it cant recognize it because there is a password. It says to unlock it first. What do I do?
