How do you reset your iPod Touch 5th Gen if you do not know the restrictions password?

I have an iPod Touch 5th Generation and i need to reset it because i am having issues with it not loading basically anything since i did the update. I don't know the restrictions passcode so i was wondering if there was any way to reset it without the password.

iPod touch, iOS 7.0.4
