How do I perform a factory reset to wipe the entire ipod clean, and start back over as it is brand new out of the box WITHOUT HAVING THE ITUNES PASSWORD? This is an ipod I have from my father who recently passed? I really need to start this thing over.
iPod touch, IPod Touch 5th Generation
Communities updatesTry:
1. If you have a computer you can connect your iPod to iTunes.
2. Press and hold the home and power buttons until iTunes comes up with a message asking if you want to restore or update.
3. Click the restore button.
4. After your iPod has been restored, you should be able to create a new Apple Id.
If restoring your iPod using iTunes doesn’t work try:
1. Try to remember the pass code that your father put on the iPod touch.
2. If the iPod doesn’t have a pass code you can reset by going to settings>general>reset>erase all content and settings.
3. If that doesn’t work, try erasing the iPod using find my iPhone. Go to http://www.iCloud.com and sign in with the Apple Id.
Hope this helps.
