Hi arreyana.
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
I can't help you recover from the problem, but I can tell you what the problem is. What is happening is, when you tried to recover, it messed with your boot partition for your install. You probably tried to restore a partition. So, what happens is when windows tries to start, it is getting references to software that is not where it should be, or more to the point, not configured with the correct registry entries.
Your best bet is to wipe the drive completely, run a clean windows install and then restore only the files you need restored. That way it will not try overwriting your boot partition again.
I hope this sheds some light on the situation. Good luck!

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.
the only way you can work around your passcode problem is by restoring your itouch. keep trying to remember it. if you decide to restore you can put the iTouch in DFU Mode and restore. let me know and I can help you with that.
