Hi Azcrow vilon,


If you forgot the Restrictions passcode, the one that you use to enable or disable features on the iPod touch, you'll have to restore the iPod touch to factory settings before you can disable restrictions. These articles provide more details and will walk you through the process:


iOS: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls)

Tap Enable Restrictions and enter a passcode. You can use the passcode to change your settings or turn off Restrictions. If you lose or forget your Restrictions passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.



Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Before you restore your device

  1. Make sure you’re using the latest version of iTunes.
  2. Use iTunes to back up your device and transfer and sync any additional content to your computer.
  3. Turn off Find My iPhone in Settings > iCloud on your device to disable Activation Lock.

Restore your iOS device

  1. Connect your iOS device to your computer using the cable that came with it.
  2. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes. In the Summary pane, click the Restore button for your device.User uploaded file
  3. Click Restore again to confirm that you want to restore your device to factory settings and delete all data and content. iTunes will download the iOS software file and restore your iOS device.User uploaded file
  4. After your iOS device is restored to factory settings, it will restart, and you’ll see the "Slide to set up” welcome screen. Follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. You can set up your device as new or using a previous backup. If your iOS device has cellular service, it will activate after you restore.User uploaded file
