Hi loud299...
If you have forgotten the code, you can unlock the IPod by doing the following:
Connect your IPod to the primary computer you use it with (the first one IPod synced with), and open iTunes.
When you disconnect iPod from the computer, it will no longer be locked.
If you can't unlock IPod using either [the code or connecting it to the computer you use to manage its songs]. . . you can restore your iPod to factory settings using iPod Updater. Please note that this will erase all data on your iPod.
Afterwards, you can add your music and data back to your iPod.
If you want to change the primary computer that your IPod is associated with, do this:
1. Restore your iPod. WARNING: The restore process cannot be undone.
All of your songs and files will be deleted. Always make a backup of your important data.
2. Connect your iPod to the computer that you want to be the primary computer.
3. Open iTunes and synchronize.
If you can't unlock your iPod and you don't have access to the primary computer, your only option is to restore the IPod, which will erase all music and data."

My 16gb apple ipod touch was disabled because i had gotten my pass code. how can i enable it to start functioning?

Hey, If its the ipod with home and power key, all what u have to do is to press the 2 buttons in the same time for 10 seconds and then realise the power key and keep holding the home key for another 5 seconds.

That will put your ipad into DFU mode or recovery mode.

Plug it to itunes, itunes will come up with a message saying that it detected your ipod in recovery mode, and it will give you the option to restore the sw and wipe the device completely.

Then everything should be fine
