FYI - iPod classic does not run iOS. The only iPod that runs iOS is iPod touch.


Make sure the Hold switch is on the OFF position (no orange showing on switch). If that does not make the on-screen lock symbol go away, do a Reset (restart) on the iPod


Learn how to reset your iPod - Apple Support (see section iPod with a click wheel)


If you are unable to do a Reset, what happens when you connect the iPod to a computer running iTunes?
