Q: iPod 5 and Apple ID problems

I tried updating my iPod 5 to iOS 9 and 9.1 but it failed to verify my Apple ID. I have since restored the iPod as a temporary solution but it no longer recognizes my Apple ID when it asks me to "Activate iPod". Whenever I try to enter my Apple ID it says that "my Apple ID cannot unlock this iPod." I cannot access it anymore... at all. I am very annoyed and need help. What do I do? Is there a way to reset it again? Can I bypass this?
