Q: how do you fix your ipod when you locked it and you can't remember the password?

Plug into iTunes.  Then Click on your iPod name on the Left side of screen. Click Restore iPod. (MAKE SURE YOU RIGHT CLICK ON YOURE IPOD NAME AND BACKUP YOUR IPOD) It should warn you if you havent backed up your ipod. Then it will completely take everything off of your ipod and reinstall the Operating System.  After the OS is installed it should ask you if you want to set up your ipod as a new ipod or restore from previous back up. Hope I helped.. Strangely enough this also just happened to my sisters ipod too haha. Tell me how it worked or if you need any help.

this is how you reset it after this just sync it with the computer... hope this helps and if it does please give me the points.. thanks

Placing your device into recovery mode

Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.

1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
   • If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
   Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
   
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
   
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
   
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.

If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.

the 1st thing i would do before u lose anything is

>devices

>right click ipod

>backup

>hold home and power till u see connect to itunes

>restore it

>right click under devices

>restore from backup

>enter a new passcode

The simpliest way, is to connect it to your PC, and then, restore it. Afterwards, iTunes will automaticaly transfer your purchases, songs, etc to your iPod.

Yes connie99 but if it's locked you can't just do that because it will tell you to unlock it first and if you have it locked then your only option is to restore it and then do a restore from backup or just sync everything again

When you add a screen-lock passcode to the iPod, iTunes will only ask you once for the passcode when you connect the iPod to the computer. After that it is unecessary to reenter the passcode when connected.  Thus, if you already econnected and entered the passcode one and then connected yu can make a backup withou reentering the pascode.

If an iOS device is protected with a passcode, iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode when you connect to your computer. Once you successfully enter the passcode, iTunes will recognize that device as authorized and you will not need your passcode to back up or sync.

iTunes: About iOS backups

If you press restore, it doesn't want you to unlock it. I've tested it.

What do you mean by "it doesn't want you to unlock it" mean?

What happens when you click on restore?

I ment that there is no need for passcode.

As previousy said in this discussion:

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:

iOS: How to back up      

If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
