So my little brother decided to take his iPod touch on a camp out with his friends and this one idiot taught him how to put a password on it. Less than 24 hours later he forgets the pass word and his iPod disables. It's 11:10 at night and so far my mom and I have tried 2 ways to fix it and have wasted an hour arguing cause we don't know what else to do. Any one know how to help?
iPod touch

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