My Itouch 3 screen is unresponsive starting this morning. It also has the date as Thursday January 1. How can I power it down or do a reset? I can not sync with Itunes since it is saying I have to enter the password.

Try:

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

- Try on another computer

- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
