If you mean that iTunes asks for the screen-lock passcode and you can't enter it, then place the iPod in recvery mode and then restore via iTunes. For recovery mode see:

iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore


For the big screen, double tap the screen with three fingers and then go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn Zoom off. For more info see:

Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password you can continue to do backups and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.

If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you will have to do a full software restore and when prompted by iTunes to select the backup to restore from, choose Set up as a new device.
