I purchased a used iPod on ebay, and it is locked. I don't know the passcode, and cannot get it from the seller. How can I reset the unit so that I can use it?

How can I access the ipod so that I can use it?

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

iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
