Hello brams25,
You'll need to connect your iPod Touch to your computer and iTunes in Recovery Mode and restore it. See this article for instructions on how to place your iPod into recovery mode.

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

HT1212 My Ipad has been permanently lock because incorrect password has been enter too many times. Normally, it will ask to wait for 60 minutes but this is not available, the only option, it says to connect to Itunes. I cannot connect to ITunes either.

What can I do to unlock the IPAD if I cannot access the device by using computer? When I connect to computer, it says I have to unlock the IPad to connect to itunes.
I try everything but I cannot figure out what to do. I turn off IPAD and it still stay in the connect to Itunes mode. It does not goes back to wait mode.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill

I entered my passcode incorrectly too many times and now my iPod Touch is diasbled.

I enterd my passcode incorrectly too many times and now my iPod Touch is disabled. Currently, my laptop is being fixed so I cannot connect it to iTunes without losing everything on my iPod. Is there any way I can regain acces to it?

Place the iPod in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes.

That is the only way ands the iPod will be erased. The screen-lock is a very good security feature.

Security code was incorrectly entered too many times

I am setting up my iCloud Keychain, while I entered password and security code, the system warning me "Because your security code was incorrectly entered too many time, you must verify your identity with apple support before try again." could you mind help me?

App Store drawing: "You have entered too many times today"

There's a limit of 25 entries per day in the current App Store giveaway/drawing/whatever, but on the second try filling out the webform (http://www.apple.com/itunes/billion-app-countdown/entryform/), I get a "you have entered too many times today" error. Anyone else get this?
Edit: I just tried it again and it worked. Apparently you have to wait five minutes or so between entries, which is reasonable. I guess they didn't have the budget to write two different error messages.

Yes. There are instances when you will get that error. That is if you have added to many credit cards on your account. You can contact email support for more information.

Your password has been incorrectly entered too many times. Go to the...

"Your password has been incorrectly entered too many times. Go to the iTunes Store on your computer and retrieve your password."
I keep getting this message, but when I go to iTunes, it lets me in with no problem and I don't know where I should be going to retrieve my password. Additionally, my Mac-based iTunes Library keeps disappearing from the Apple TV menu and today it started streaming (videos from my iTunes library) extremely slowly for some reason which I cannot discern. I don't know what the problem is, but my daughter is getting very frustrated that Word World keeps pausing every minute or so to buffer.
Any help would be fantastic!

I, too, am getting this error. Mine is on my Apple TV (black) and seems to happen any time I switch between items on the main menu screen. Apple recently prompted me to change my password for my Apple ID account. However, when I get this error message, I just select 'OK' and go on. It does not seem impact watching any content streamed from my Mac nor does it impact accessing Netflix...
Other than being a nuisance, I haven't been able to find what is causing it and what limitations are resulting from it. I'm also not sure where I can go to update the password this Apple TV is using.
Thanks for any help you may provide.

White screen after i entered the wrong ID password too many times

Hi,
I was attempting to sync my blackberry information to my laptop when i was asked for the ID password, I tried a few options but could not remember it at all. When It reached the last attempt the screen said if I entered the wrong pin it would erase all my information. I stopped went to the website and changed my passwords to make sure, then I went back and entered the new password. Immediately the screen turned white and began to erase everything. I pulled the battery immediately and having been frantically searching the Internet for a way to undo this. Please Please Please help.
I have so much on my phone I really need. Especially videos of my baby :-(
Can anyone help me.
Solved!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Failure of the BBID credentials will never wipe a BB. What actually happened was you incorrectly entered your user-created device-lock password too many times, and it then proceeded with wiping the device, as per the requirements of the security level accepted when enabling that feature. There is no way to stop it.
Sorry.
