Enter Code on ipod???

unfortunantly, a young child got a hold of my ipod nano and by the time i took it off him, i had a vault like dial on the screen, asking me to enter a four digit code.

All that comes up on the screen now is the enter code message and dial, but if i dont know the code, how do i solve this problem???

PLEASE HELP

Try this, connect the iPod to the main computer you use it with (if you use it with more than one, this is the first one it was connected to) and open iTunes. Then disconnect iPod from the computer, it should be unlocked: iPod: How to use the Screen Lock

If you can't get it unlocked you'll need to restore it. Just be aware that restoring will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings with iTunes 7

As Zevoneer has correctly pointed out, the only other way is to restore the iPod.

If you took it to an Apple store, all they would do is to restore it also.
