How do I erase all content on an ipod touch without being connected to wifi? It keeps asking for my username and password, however the internet is not available as my router died.

If you have a fifth-generation iPod touch with iOS 7 and set up Find My iPod, then you will have to turn that off before you can erase the iPod. See:

If it requires an Internet connection - I'm not sure - then you will have to find a valid Wi-Fi connection you can use.

Regards.

Just restore using iTunes, if you have the latest software on your device and it's been installed through itunes then you shouldn't have any problems
