Hi Paula
If you have forgotten the code or put the wrong code in your ipod, 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. Please take time to rate me Bud
<p>The screen lock is available on the iPod Touch, as well as
recent models of the iPod and iPod Nano, giving you a 4-digit password to set
the screen. This is to prevent others from using your iPod, but it is not a
safety device impregnable. If you forget the password, you can quickly and
easily unlock the iPod by connecting it to the computer you normally use to
sync your iPod with iTunes. You can then open the iPod and reset the lock to a
more memorable password. <br />
<p><br />
<p>1. Connect the iPod Touch to your computer via the USB
cable. <br />
<p><br />
<p>2. Wait for iTunes to access and synchronize with your
computer. <br />

"Eject" to the input side of the iPod under "Devices" in
iTunes. <br />
<p><br />

Dear letsneuk, (I hope your not Dutch/Flemish :] )
iPhone's/iPod Touches DO NOT work as an external (flash) drive wich Windows sometimes detects as camera's.
Download iTunes instead, to sync your music etc.

Good luck.
And kind regards,
FriskYR.
Have you tried trying that on a diffrent device? maybe your iPod touch needs a software update because this occurs when you're not on the latest software update definitely!
From what I gather in your post, it seems that your touch has had too many wrong attempts at the passcode, so now it won't even give you the number pad to try again.
It is now necessary to restore the touch on the computer that was used to originally sync it, so you can reset your passcode and resync the data.
If you use a different computer, you will be able to unlock and remove passcode, but you will lose your data.
The link below will explain what I said a little better, and at the end of the article there is another link on how to actually update and restore your touch.
Connect 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 this method, you can restore your iPod to factory settings. Please note that this will erase all data on your iPod. Afterwards, you can add your music and data back to iPod.
