If you reset the iPod, you will see an "Activation Lock" as muguy stated. This is an extra layer of security on Apple's behalf that prevents any unauthorized user from using the device. If your friend forgot his Apple account password, I would recommend he reads this article on resetting an unknown Apple account password: (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201487)


When he has access to the Apple ID in question, he can refer to this article on removing the activation lock: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201441
