IPod Given to brother. Brother passed away suddenly. I wound up with his iPod. All it shows on the screen is a big lock pad and a place to enter a 4-digit code. I don't have a .clue.

SOURCE: how to unlock ipod without 4 digit code?

This is a tip I posted here on my page, it is for the itouch but so far I think it is the same for any ipod. it has to be cleared and restarted to your computer if it has ever been synced to any computer. Apples way of anti-theft of song rights.

SOURCE: How do I Unlock Ipod screen if I forgot the 4 digit password?

The only way to get rid of the password is to do a "Factory Reset" which will delete everything on the iPod. You hook it up to the computer and then when you select the iPod in the "source" panel of iTunes, select the "Summary" tab. There should be a "Restore" button. Just follow the instructions that iTunes gives you. For more detail, Apple support has a page that has every little thing on it, but this should be enough to get you through it.

The system will lock you out if you put in your pass code wrong three times.  Wait a couple hours and put in the correct pass code to unlock it or you can hook the thing up to your computer and click on restore factory defaults.

How can i unlock my ipod after my lilttle brother changed it

Your question was cut off but I think you were about to say that your brother set the lock code. By plugging the iPod into a computer itunes should unlock it automatically. If it only unlocks on the computer, you will need to restore your ipod which will rid you of all your music. I hope you have back ups.
