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.

first force the iPod into disc mode. (At the same time) Press and hold the menu and center button down. Continue holding down until those buttons until you see an apple appear on the screen. AS soon as you see the apple, let go of those buttons and switch to pressing the play and center buttons together until you see a check mark appear on the screen.
Once that is done and the iPod is in disc mode connect it to your computer. YOU WILL NEED TO RESTORE at this point. If you need further assistance please do let me know :)

- have you tried to slide the lock back and forth and then hold down the menu button and the center button at the same time to reset

this depends on what kind of lock your talking about but here you go

also you can go into the hard drive side through my computer and make sure the files are set to view hidden files and go to the folder ipod control open that then open the folder device then delete the file that says _unlocked

that will do the trick send a reply when it works
