I bought a second hand ipod touch, but it has a passcode set on it. I have followed the apple instructions for restoring the ipod, but the ipod keeps exiting recovery mode after 15mins, and the windows 7 laptop is taking longer than the 15 mins to download the latest software. Any advice?
Thanks,

Follow the instructions in the following to first download the firmware and then place the iPod in Recovery mode and restore via iTunes. Make sure you download the current iOS version for your iPod. For a 5G it is 8.4, fort 4G it is 6,1,6, 3G 5.1.1, 2G 4,2,1 and make sure you download the firmware for you devices since iPhone firmware will not install on a iPod
How to Install iOS 8.1.3 Update on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch
Use the Step 5 update using iTunes instructions but download the firmware for your device. Note that if you try to restore to an earlier iOS version you will only get errors.
If it is a 5G iPod with iOS 7 or later yo will have to enter the ID and PW last used for Settings>iCloud.
