Ipod is disabled after too many incorrect passwords entered

How to I enable my ipod after it was disabled because the wrong pass word was put in too many times?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • HT1430 my daughter's ipod has been disabled after too many wrong password attempts. The ipod was not synced to a computer. How can we get it started?

    My daughter's ipod touch has been disabled after too many wrong password attempts.
    The ipod was never synced to the computer so can't connect to itunes.
    How else can we enable the ipod touch again?

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  In your case, choose any computer with iTunes software.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • HT1212 ipod touch disabled due to too many incorrect password attempts - problem is I know the password

    My daughter's ipod touch is locked due to too many incorrect password attempts (thanks to her little brother).  It is displaying the red bar that states ipod is disabled connect to itunes.  Problem is we don't have the computer that the ipod was originally synced with and she doesn't want to reset the ipod.  In this instance we know the password.. so is there anyway to get the ipod to ask us one more time to enter the password?  I'm not sure how many incorrect attempts were made, but it doesn't state anything about try again in so many minutes.. help, please!

    No. Start with the last paragraph of:

    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    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.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
    Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.

    A data recovery company MAY be able to do it for a price. The Disabled is a very good security feature.
    JWhy not just restore from the last backup you have?

    James5wins, you do not have to restore as new. Restoring from backup does NOT restore the screen-lock passcode.

  • I tried to restore my iPod Touch after too many incorrect passcodes were tried.  iTunes downloaded an update for 4 hours, but nothing changed with the iPod.

    My daughter's friends tried to guess her password on her iPod Touch 4th generation too many times, and now she is locked out, and the iPod displays the message, "iPod is disabled.  connect to iTunes."  I connected it and tried to restore it.  iTunes recognizes the iPod.  iTunes said it needed to download an update, although everything on both the iPod and iTunes should be current.  The update ran for over 4  hours, but when it ended, nothing else happened.  The iPod is still disabled.  How can I fix this?  Thanks.

    - Try a reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try a manual install. See:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    - Place in recovery mode and the retore. For recovery mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • Is there a password lockout after entering too many incorrect passwords for a .dmg folder?

    I entered three passwords for my .dmg folder before receiving a warning that said authentication error. I'm pretty sure I am now entering the right password, but it still won't open. I'm wondering if I've been locked out? I tried to shut down and restart the computer and do it again, but it's still not working.

    There is no lockout feature.

  • After my friend locked me out of my iPhone with too many wrong passwords I restored my iPhone and now it is showing that picture of a cable leading towards itunes and itunes says the sim is not supported but it is the original sim. How do I fix this?

    After my friend locked me out of my iPhone with too many wrong password attempts I restored my iPhone via recovery mode and now it is showing that picture of a cable leading towards itunes, and itunes says the sim is not supported but it is the original sim. How do I fix this?

    Something went wrong with the update, this can and does happen with every version of iOS.
    There is nothing wrong with the update.
    Simply restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
    If iTunes is stating it will take hours to update, that indicates an extremely slow Internet connection and is likely the reason the OTA update failed.

    Does the iPhone 4 disable for 24 hours after too many failed attempts at entering the passcode

    Oh thank you. Only thing is I have no backup, so i'd prefer to wait if there is a 24 hour lock out... Someone told me they thought there was, and I can't find anything on google to tell me how many attempts you get and how long you get locked out for each time. A friend made me a new passcode when under the influence and now after thinking about it remembers what he changed it to
