how can i reset my 5th gen ipod touch?

I've watched the videos and followed along but it isn't working. Am I missing something? I turn it off, then press and hold the Home button while I plug in the lightning cable connected to my laptop with itunes logged in and ready to go.

iPod touch 2nd generation factory reset need to connect to iTunes? Hi, having a clear out of old tech and when it came to factory resetting my iPod touch 2nd gen it reset and then prompted me to connect it to iTunes before I could use it freshly wiped, which I did and everything was fine . I went to trade it in and after, I assume the same steps I took, they turned it away on the grounds that it was stuck in reset mode. Is it? Or is it just that the method of resetting older iPod touches involves connecting to iTunes after being reset (they did not do this), it’s been so long I can’t remember. Thanks
