Lost Ipod Touch password, no backup, please help

My daughter forgot her ipod touch password. She has never backed it up on itunes before. She has a lot of games and tunes that she purchased. Is there a way to recover that password without losing the downloads? Any help is appreciated!

Hi debs2014,


You will have to place your daughter's iPod Touch into recovery mode to restore the device to default factory settings.


There is no other way to recover a lost password, but to place the device in recovery mode then restore.


Here's the article for placing the device in recovery mode:

If your daughter purchased apps and music from itunes she can re-download from the itunes and apps store apps on her device by tapping the icons on home screen, then signing in with apple id and password.


Here an article that can help you re-download past purchases:

If your daughter didn't purchase the apps and tunes from the itunes or apps stores, then she will have to re-download or re-purchase the items from where she purchased the apps and tunes initially.


Hope this helps.

Let me know.
