I forgot my password and got locked out of my 4th Gen iPod Touch. It says Connect to iTunes. When I connect to iTunes, it tells me it can't access it because there is a password. I cannot go into DFU mode, as my home button does not work. Please help!!!
iPod touch
When you plug your iPod in to your computer. Go to the iPod and you need to physically recover it. You are at a loss on that if you did not back up your stuff.
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.
