My ipod turns itself on, even in the locked position and runs down the battery. So have have to keep it docked on my Ihome to keep it charged.
Attach a USB connector to the iPod and plug it into a USB connection on a computer for power, or into a stand alone USB charger plugged into a power strip for electrical power.
Pick up the iPod. Move the "Hold" switch at the top of the iPod to the "Locked" position so that an orange color appears by the switch. Return the switch to the "Unlocked" position.
Repeat this process. Press and hold the "Home" button and the button at the top right corner together if using a fifth generation iPod, iPod Nano, iPod Mini or iPod with a click wheel. Press and hold the "Menu" button and the "Play/Pause" button together if using an iPod Touch. Press and hold the "Menu" button and the "OK" button together if using an older iPod.
Continue holding the buttons together until the screen flashes and then displays the iPod name and the Apple logo.
Release the buttons. Wait as the iPod resets itself and turns itself back on.
or
Plug the iPod USB cable into the bottom of your iPod.
Plug the other end of the iPod USB cable into a free USB port on your Mac or PC.
Open the iTunes application by using the dock icon on a Mac or the start menu on a PC.
Click on the name of your iPod under the "Devices" list in the main iTunes window.
Click on the "Sync" button to create a connection between the computer and the iPod.
Click on the eject symbol after the syncing process is complete, and then unplug your iPod from the computer.
The lock code has been reset; when you go to disable the iPod again, you will be prompted to choose a new four-digit code.
hope this helps
