TS1441 How can I restore an iPod touch if the home button is broken and I don't know the password?

I just bought my iPod Touch (4th Generation 8GB) from my friend and the home button doesn't work. Then, my parents took it away for about 6 months and I just got it back and I forgot my password. Then, I tried to get in too many times and now it says "iPod Disabled Connect to iTunes". Then, when I connect it to iTunes, it says for my to put in my password so it can connect. I've been trying to get back in but haven't found a way to restore it. HELP!!!!!
P.S. It's jailbroken, but the damage isn't due to Cydia. Also, I can't put it into DFU mode since the home button is broken.

Actually, I can give it to someone who fixes jailbroken iPod touch home buttons, but I don't want to pay anything. Also, if you just have something to say to me that will kill me, don't say it at all dude.

See Here for
Frozen or unresponsive iPod touch
The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart.. Reset.. Restore...
Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the iPod Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the iPod On...
If that does not help... See Here:

As a first attempt, try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons untl the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if that appears.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How can I reset my ipod touch. It's stuck on a screen with the itunes logo

Can someone please help me? I need to reset my ipod & by holding the wake button & the home button its not helping. It got like this after I tried to update the software.

I have the same problem right now only on my Iphone. I can't get anything on my phone but that picture. I have tried to turn it off and on and nothing works. I called support and they said let the phone run down and then turn it back on. That is all I can think of to do and it will take several hours to get it to run down.

How can I reset my admin. password without the MAC OXS reinstall, bought mine used and have no such disk

Hi, how can I change my admin password without the reinstall of MAC OXS disk or whatever that is, I bought my macbook privately and cant update my adobe flash without the password which I have never set up. but anything I type in is wrong...... as a password.

ok have read all relivant posts and have tried the restart command+R which does absolutely nothing. My Computer opens up as usual.
I have found another response which suggests command+S and generate an entirely new admin. and password and you are not supposed to loose a single file.
Has anyone done this and been successful? I have just installed a new hard drive in the last 3 months and don't want to do any damage.
Hearing a success story would be nice. Thanks

HT1212 How can I reset my iPod Touch 3 gen. to factory settings when my home button is broken and I'm locked out?

My home button broke awhile ago so I've just been using the assist thing ( I forget the name:P) and I got locked out a few days ago and now I can't do the hold down the sleep/wake button after disconnecting your device from the charger and hold onto the home button blah blah blah. Anyways, I have no idea what to do so if any of you could help I would be so thankful (also I tried erasing it using iCloud online and it said to erase it had to be connected to Wifi and well, I can't do that unless I can unlock my iPod and yeah..)

Use this program to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore via iTunes

your only shot is using this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212

What does error -3259 mean? How can i update my ipod touch to the new ios 5?

I been updating my ipod touch 4 software to the new ios 5 all day. i tried disabling my security programs and firewall, different download programs and reinstalling iTunes, and restarting my ipod touch. But for each attempt i get a different error. i went to the Specific update and restore errror code page and got a reason for each error except for error -3259. Basically my question is: 1. How can i update my ipod software to io5 and 2. What is the reason behind error -3259?

Connect it to iTunes on a computer and update it from there. Note that the second generation iPod touch(which includes 8GB models sold at the same time as the third generation ones) can't be updated past 4.2.1.

How can I deactivate an Ipod touch without using it? (Broken screen)

I was given the new Ipod Touch 4th gen for Christmas and my 2yr old daughter threw it in the dogs water dish. It was completely covered with water, and the screen would no longer light up but I could see it was still working.. So I left it out to dry for a few days but my husband decided he wanted to try and "fix" it by opening it up and that is when the screen cracked.. So now it lights up again but its all white with a spider web in the one corner. I can still hit the button twice and then guess where the play button would be on the screen and tap it and it will play music.. so I know it still "works" but there is no screen.. and since my husband opened it up I dont even want to try to take it in and get it fixed. The metal backing is all bent away from the glass and you can just tell that someone opened it up.. So instead, I went and bought myself a new one.
It doesnt bother me that I have two of them activated and listed on my computer. That is not why I want to deactivate it. What happened it, I tried to use the face time on my new Ipod and nothing happened. (Yes I made sure that I set it up before I tried to use it) My brother in law tried to call me (we were sitting in the same room) and it was going through on his end, waiting for me to pick up, but nothing was happening on my end. So I am thinking that because it was set up on the broken one first, its sending the call to that one instead of going to my new one.
So I am trying to figure out how I can deactivate/permanently shut off the broken Ipod without being able to go on it or use it. So is there a way to plug it in and deactivate it through Itunes on my computer? -OR- If you can explain why else my face time would not be working after setting it up on the new Ipod?
Thanks..

Having identical FaceTime info on the broken iPod and the new one should not effect using FT on the new iPod as long as the broken one is off. However, you can try connecting the broken one to you computer and see if you can restore it to factory defaults/new iPod vi iTunes. See:

HT1430 If my iPod was given to someone else and they changed the reset code, how do I reset my ipod touch without that password?

My Dad gave my step sister my ipod last year. She changed the password to do a master reset. I called Apple, and I gave them the serial number but got nothing out of it. Because I wasn't paying $20 to talk to a representative. I need someone to tell me how I can find the password and get it changed so i can reset the whole iPod.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

How can I reset my iPod Touch with no power at all? It doesn't charge with the power outlet or with the USB cable...

I realized this morning my iPod Touch was not charging. I left it charging all night but nothing.
I read i have to reset it, but since now is fully uncharged, it does not allow me to do anything...
I tried to charge it with all possible resources (USB, different chords, power outlet, etc) but still out.
Should I take it to a Genius Bar?

I would try here first.

Then to the Apple store.
