Just recently my Ipod touch was stolen. It is password protected. Can it be unlocked?
iPod touch
Not really unless you use an easy to guess passcode. However, then can easily place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPOd. The iPod will be erased.
Not without erasing its content.
It can be restored.
It is very unlikely that the thief will be knowledgeable enough or motivated enough to attempt to hack it for the info inside. They will likley just restore it and use it as their own.
Change all of your passwords to be safe.
Just to note that there are perfectly legal 3rd party programs (the one I have is Aiseesoft iPhone Transfer) that will transfer music and data from your iPod to your computer. I was surprised to see that it will copy my contacts from my locked iPod to my PC where I can read them. Be warned.
Can my stolen ipod be unlocked?
