Forgot my itouch passoword

My boyfriend was messing with my itouch and changed the password at complete random so he has no idea what it is either. I was thinking about restoring it, but i'm not sure if that permanantly deletes all my photos and progress in my apps. If I restore it, will I be able to bring back every single thing as if this never happened, or will some of my data be deleted. Please tell me if there is another way to get onto my itouch without having to guess the password or end up having some of my data deleted. Please and think you

Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore...

     If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
     below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
     simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
     same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the
          Back Up option. If you have just backed up the device, it is not necessary
          to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
          backup to restore or have forgotten your restrictions passcode, then restore as New.
If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.
Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. 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 the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't 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.
Additional Information:
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

Bypass locked itouch - my daughter forgot her passcode

My daughter forgot her passcode. Is there any way to make sure we dont lose her pictures?

Doogles is wrong, it will not unlock your iTouch. If it did unlock it, there would be no point to password protection!
Make sure you sync the photos in your iTouch before using Recovery Mode or restoring.

I forgot my password on iTouch

I put a pass code on my iTouch and I have not use it for a month. Now I forgot my pass code. How do i unlock it? Please assist. Thanks in advance

Yes, the password protects the content. Just think of the practicality. If someone were to steal your iPod or Lap Top how is a password going to prevent the theft. If the thief cannot get pass the password, do you think they will return it to you??? If you were to misplace it and an honest person finds it, it is a good idea to have a way for that person to get it back to you. There are 3rd party services that can help you put up a start screen that will direct a person that found your iPod to you for a return.

ITouch Login Problem, Forgot Password

My itouch has been humming away fine and last night it forgot the password to my ActionTec Router. I have tried inputting it many times, with no luck including the Network Reset. I am assuming as its been a while that the password is the WEP ID. Are there any other options for a password ? Tried all my normal ones. Never been able to get my iPad to sync with the Wifi (Wrong Password or it forgets it)
Thanks !

The name of the password file isn't random.
The SID is case sensitive, and the password file in Unix has no extension!
So if the filename is wrong, the passwordfile will not be used.
This filename looks wrong, at least the .ora bit should be removed.
