Try forcing your iPod into Recovery mode by switching it off completly,
Then press & hold the HOME button while pluigging the cable into the iPod,
Plug Cable into computer and iTunes shouldf let you do a full restore.

trying holding down the command and option keys while plugging your ipod in, this will make it open in the safe mode.

I am unable to do a restore through itunes because the computer I first used has recently crashed. My iPod is now disabled because of too many attempts trying to figure out my 4 digit code. Now I get a message saying 'iPod is disabled, please connect to iTunes.' When I connect my iPod to my new computer, it only says, 'Can't connect, please enter your 4 digit code.' What is the next step I can take to do a 'RESTORE' back to factory settings?

My iPod was in recovery mode and wouldn't restore (error 6), but It works now after I restored it to 1.1.5.
Thanks for your reply...

Go to settings on your touch, under general tab you will find reset at the bottom of the list. Restore factory settings should be an option on that list
