how to unlock your ipod touch if you forgot the password

If You Are Locked Out, Have Forgotten Your Passcode, or Just Need to Restore Your Device

If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions

below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will

simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This

same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.

A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)

If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.

Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.

Follow these steps to restore your device:

If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.

I used the below on an Ipad touch (1 or 2?) that I purchased off Ebay that was locked up with the go to iTunes red warning.

It took me six tries but I just kept hammering away at it, and as I say on the sixth try it reset, updated the iOS and I am able to use it, in fact I am listing to some old 60's rock that I had on my computer and put on just to try it out, works great.

I am not all that up to date on iOS, in fact this is the first device I have that runs it, I do have several android devices and an android smart phone, I just wanted an Apple to play with. This one was sold as a series 1 or 2, all the print is off of the back so I have no idea what it is except it is an ipod touch and rather old as it will only update to 4.2 so most nothing in the store works with it. Not a real problem though but I would have liked to be able to get netflix on it, and I can't figure out how to use iTunes to transfer movies or tv shows to it, got the music transferred with no problem but the only other apple device I have except my laptop is one of those tiny ipod shuffle I think it is.

I'm about ready to sue Apple. When I try to restore my device, it says i need to turn find my iphone off. I can't turn it off without getting on my ipod.
