Does anyone know how to unlock an ipod touch if I forgot my password?

My son forgot his password.  How can I unlock it without restoring?

You can't.
Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • Does anyone know how to unlock an ipod touch that says try again in 23,279,072 minutes?

    My 4 year old somehow locked my old ipod touch and it says try again in over 23 million minutes. I have followed all the steps I can find so far and nothing works.

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

    For how to restore:
    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.

  • Hi, does anyone know if Apple ever sold ipod touch 4G on rectangle clear flat box, instead of round edge clear box?, Hi, does anyone know if Apple ever sold ipod touch 4G on rectangle clear flat box, instead of round edge clear box?

    Hi, does anyone know if Apple ever sold ipod touch 4G on rectangle clear flat box, instead of round edge clear box?

    Not a 4G. Thats something I have never seen before. But then again, the thinner 4G wouldn't be able to sit still in the case of a bulky 2nd or 3rd gen. So if it isn't sliding and its in original packaging, I would trust it. No one would go through the trouble to spend money to make a mold to stick a knockoff in a case.  I say its fine. How is it running?

    How do you unlock an ipod touch if you forgot the password?

    You can't. Type in the wrong password until, it says "Connect to iTunes". Then connect it to iTunes. You will wait 1 minute, five minutes, 15 minutes, then 60 minutes, then you can connect it to iTunes.

  • Does anyone know when do the latest iPod Touch ship out in the US?

    I pre-ordered the latest iPod touch (blue) and it's been close to a month now. Still no word from Apple on when they're going to release it for shipping here in the US. Does anyone know when in October is it going to be released?

    I know the pain of waiting. I waited 2 months for a liquid-cooled PowerMac G5 after they were introduced. They had issues with leaks.
    I read there are quality control issues with the new iPhone 5. Some new units out of the box have nick and scratches in them. They are probably trying to rectify that for iPods too, and that may be slowing production.
