Step 1: Apple's iPod Touch comes with a screen lock feature that allows you to set a four-digit security code to prevent others from using your iPod. Every time the iPod locks, you must enter this code to unlock the screen and access the user interface. Entering the wrong code too many times, or simply forgetting your security code, can cause you to be completely locked out. When this happens, you can quickly unlock your iPod Touch.
Connect your iPod Touch to the computer you usually sync it with. When you disconnect your iPod, it should now be unlocked. If Step 1 does not work, you have to restore your iPod Touch. Be advised that restoring your iPod Touch returns it to the original factory settings. This means that all your songs and files will be deleted and lost. You can resync your files to your iPod from iTunes once you have finished restoration. Connect your iPod to your computer and open iTunes. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes before proceeding. In the left navigation panel in iTunes, select your iPod under the "Devices" section. Click the "Summary" tab and select "Restore." When iTunes prompts you about backing up your data, click "Back Up." In the following window, click "Restore." After the restore process completes, you will see the Apple logo on the screen of your iPod. Leave your iPod connected to your computer until it shows up again on the iTunes navigation panel. Your iPod touch is now unlocked. In iTunes you will be able to setup your iPod. Select the backup you made in the drop-down menu to restore your data files. Click "Continue" to finish the restoration. iTunes: Restoring iOS software http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

According to Apple, 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. Apple also notes that company "representatives cannot unlock an iPod if you forget your combination. 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."
The iPod touch is disabled when the incorrect unlock code is entered too many times. The time the iPod makes you wait increases each time an incorrect unlock code is entered.
There are two ways you should be able to unlock the iPod. First, connect the iPod to the computer it was last synced with. After iTunes recognizes the iPod, you should be able to enter your unlock code and unlock the iPod.
If the first method doesn't work or you don't remember your unlock code, then do this: 1) Turn the iPod off. 2) Hold down the Home button and connect the iPod to the computer it was last synced with. 3)Release the Home button when the iTunes image appears of the iPod's screen. 4)Wait for iTunes to recognize the iPod and then follow the onscreen directions to restore the iPod.
If neither method works, you will need to contact Apple Customer Support.
to unlock it now, you'd have to hit the "restore" button in itunes when you plug in your ipod and it shows the status screen. if this fails you as well, go to the nearest apple retail store and they can help you unlock it.
By "disabled" do you mean you have used the in-feature locking system on the ipod for protection?
For iTunes, Make sure you have the usb cables firmly attached to both the iPod and the computer. Go to:
1) Start bar on your computer 2) Look for "iTunes" in your programs 3) Click on "iTunes" to open it up.
If your iPod is connected to your computer, after about 20 seconds, iTunes should read your iPod and show it.
Also, if you have "disabled" it, it may just be as simple as resetting your iPod.
How to reset:
1) Move the "lock" on your ipod to locked position then quickly back to unlocked. 2) Hold then Menu and Center button down together till the Apple logo comes up. This should take only max 10 seconds. 3) It should return to the main menu on the iPod.
Hope I Helped, :-) Good luck. Don't worry, your father won't kill you, he might be disapointed, but definetly not that. (I know from previous experience).
put the ipod into restore mode, hold the power button down and the menu button for 20 seconds,then when you see the screen changed to the ipod usb,connect it to your itunes
