Hello.
Welcome to Fixya Community.

You need to restore it with iTunes, but you can't restore an iPod While its Locked With a password, well in order to Force it to Restore you shud put it on Recovery Mode.
Hold down the power and home keys down for about 10 seconds each while plugged into iTunes. When the screen goes black, release the power button but keep holding the home key until itunes says. We have detected an itouch in recovery mode.

From there you can restore as normal via iTunes.
and that will reset you configuration including Your Password.
Thank you For Using Fixya.
Good Luck.

SOURCE: I forgot my password on

Hello, and thanks for using FixYa.

The ipod must be put into recovery mode and then restored with itunes.

I've done this too many times so this does work:

  1. Connect the usb cable to the computer, but not to the touch
  2. Press and hold the home button on the touch and then while still holding it down connect the cable to the touch
  3. still holding down the home button now with the cable connected you should get a itunes icon on the touch.
  4. itunes should report it has discovered touch in recovery mode and needs to be restored, let go of the home button
  5. restore on itunes

Please let me know if you require further assistance or if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Ekse
