forgot password for my ipod

Restore it in iTunes to factory settings. As long as you still have the data on your iTunes, you should be able to just restore it after. Otherwise, the data is probably toast.

I have the same problem, and i tried you way however it is still not working. When the download reach about 30 MB an error occur saying "the network connection timed out" what should I do?

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.

- Next try the manual install method of:

Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.

- Then try on another computer
