Being young is not relevant.

Since the passcode was created by you so there's no recover option because Apple do not have your passcode on file.

It existed only on your device and backup, nobody knows unless you shared that info with someone.

Info here => If you forgot the passcode on your iPod touch, or your iPod touch is disabled - Apple Support

You should man-up, don't blame someone else for your own mistake.

See If you forgot your Apple ID password https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201487

 

You also can use Having trouble signing in/iForgot https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid to try to recover it.

 

And you may need to see If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201485

 

Before trying to answer your security questions is very important that you think about your questions, including your birth date, and their answers carefully and try to recall all details you can. If you don't answer them correctly enough, then you easily can lose control of your account.

 

Note that If you're using two-factor authentication and can’t recover your password, you usually will need to enter account recovery. See Recover your Apple ID when you can’t reset your password  https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204921

 

And, in general, if things go badly using the above links, you will need to try to recover your account if you want to use it again. Again, see Recover your Apple ID when you can’t reset your password https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204921 Use this link to request account recovery to regain access to your account.

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.


If you want to, you can send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem or a suggestion for change. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem/suggested change solved sooner.

But i was young when i had this ipod!?

That makes no sense!

There should be a way to retrieve your passcodes if not reset your passcodes without resetting and wiping the phone or ipod!

Like im the true owner of my ipod and i cant even have access to it anymore because of this.

I was young at the time when i did use my ipod a lot but i never backed it up cause i thought i was never going to get a iphone to do that whole process. But now that i forgot my PASSCODE i cant even access it anymore. I have lots of old memories on there, and all I'm trying to say is that for true owners of these devices should have access to something like this. Like we spend hundreds and hundreds of our own money into these Iphones and ipods. And for something like this to happen is truly unacceptable, Cause plenty of people forgets to back up they're data.There should just be an alternative solution for something like this. Cause this is sad, like I'm truly disliking apple now because of it.
