SOURCE: how do i reset my nano ipod password ive tried the apple instructions?

---If you do this you won't lose music"---
Well I went to my computer clicked my ipod and when the folders came up you go up top to "tools and folder options" and go to the tab that says "view" and click the one that says "show hidden folders." Then click "ipod control" then "Device" and delete the file that says "_lock" or something on that line. If you any questions email me at [email protected]

SOURCE: my 8GB ipod touch is disabled

You need to put in DFU MODE, and restore your ipod touch.
Easy:
Press The Home Button + power button for 10 seconds. after 10 seconds, press only the Homme button.
And now, connect your ipod touch on itunes and press RESTORE.

SOURCE: i forgot my password to my 8gb ipod touch

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: forgot my ipod password

If you are talking about your screenlock password then this is what you do WITHOUT deleting your data from the iTouch.
1.Plug the iPod in computer.
2.Go to "My Computer" And click the the drive where you iPod is located.
3.Change the folder option to "View all hidden files and folders"
4.Navigate to ipod_control
5.Then go to Device
6.There should be a file there named "_Unlocked"
7.Open that up with a text editor (Notepad) and the passcode will be there.

Sreen is locked on apple ipod 8gb

Do a factory reset. Probably you'll lose all your files. Bad Luck. Next time copy your passwords to a notebook and keep it in a safe place.

Ipod touch is locked forgot password cant unlock

plug it into your computer and through itunes on your original computer you will be able to reset it. If it is not the original computer that you are using you will be able to reset it but will probably lose the information on it.

I forgot my password and is locked

OOPS, try this:
connect it to your computer and click reset when your ipod nano comes up on itunes. you should click on the ipod name in the left side of your screen (lwhere the itunes library and store icons are located) and there should be a button that says restore or reset your ipod to origional settings. it will erase all passwords.
Let me know if this helps

How do i reset the password on my ipod

hold the menu button, connect it to your computer, let iTunes open up (keep holding it down)
there should be a message like 'iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode'...
don't let go of home until that message shows.

this resets your ipod and puts it into emergency recovery mode
just follow what it says, and you should be good to go
