Forgot Ipod passcode

I forgot my ipod passcode and now it says ipod disabled connect to itunes. I dont have an itunes on a computer though i only bought stuff from the itunes on my ipod so i cant connect to an itunes. I tried restoring to factory settings but that didnt work. What do i do?

You will need a computer on which to download iTunes if you do not already have it: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you forgot its password the iPod has to be restored. Make sure you are following the instructions in this procedure to the letter. Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
If all you had on the iPod was content purchased from the App Store, you can simply download everything again. You won't have to pay for anything you already bought.

Forgot iPod passcode, not backed up

My son forgot his iPod 5th generation passcode, and since he only got it at Christmas, we had not got round to backing it up to our computer or iCloud yet. Is there any way to unlock the device, even if it means deleting everything off it, as the iPod has not been backed up before or synced to a computer. Please help us!

Follow these instructions and place the iPad in recovery mode and restore via iTune

My daughter forgot her passcode, so "iPod is disabled. Connect to iTunes." But iTunes refuses to connect without passcode. Now what?

My daughter forgot her passcode and tried too many times to remember it, so now her iPod is locked with the message "iPod is disabled. Connect to iTunes." I tried connecting it to iTunes, but iTunes says it could not connect "because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPod touch before it can be used with iTunes."
Question 1: What are we doing wrong? Why does the iPod say to connect to iTunes if it CAN'T be connected to iTunes?
Some other threads suggest that the only option is to wipe/restore it. The problem is that she has a lot of photos she would like to rescue before erasing it. The Photostream had not been enabled on her computer, so I enabled it. Shortly thereafter, six photos appeared on her computer. But she says there are many, many more and she really wants them. We have waited weeks for more photos to appear, but no more have shown up after the first six. Why not?
Question 2: Is there anything we can do to coax the iPod to finish sharing the rest of the photos in her Photostream?

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. You can't get info off the iPod in its present state

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.
All you can to to get the photos is:
Photos
- If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

Please what do i do to unlock my ipod passcode i forgot!

iHelper 007, the poster said he tried to restore and go an error.

How do you get your ipod touch unlocked ? i have forgot the passcode.

I have forgot my passcode to my ipod touch and its showing DISABLED now where i have the wrong passcode. How can i reset it or unlock it? I don't have the pc i first used when i bought my ipod touch.

If you can't remember the Passcode, you need to restore the device from the computer it was last synced with.
Follow the instructions for putting the device in recovery mode > iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
I don't have the pc i first used
Not good.
After too many unsuccessful attempts, you won't be able to try again until you connect it to the computer with which you last synced it.

My daughter forgot her passcode on her new ipod touch. How do I access it? The message says ipod disabled. I've tried resetting by holding on/off and home but hasn't worked

My daughter forgot her passcode on her brand new ipod touch. How do I access it now? The message reads, "ipod disabled". I've tried holding the on/off button and home button until I see an apple. Then asks me to connect to itunes. When trying to connect to itunes, it will not let me as it asks for the ipod touch's passcode (which we do not have!) What next?

Did you use the instructions I provided in the document above? It can be a bit tricky getting the device into recovery mode. Try a few more times.
What happens if you try DFU mode?

Try connecting your iPod Touch to iTunes in recovery mode, allowing you to bypass the need to enter in the forgotten passcode. See this article for instructions on getting your iPod into recovery mode.

Nope.
You will have to restore your ipod or put it into recovery mode. Either way you will lose everything that you have failed to store on your computer.

Well if she backs up her iPod regularly, she is in luck. You can restore the iPod, then choose a backup to use after it is done restoring. Information on doing this is available here:
