No reason for an Apple store.
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.

Hi,
I have been trying this technique for the past 4 days. It doesnt work no matter how i change the password at the link that u gave me. Even though it's being reset accordingly, i am still unable to log in the password at my mobile. i am 100% sure that i have entered the correct password at my mobile. ( verify blackberry id) . I want to setup new email accounts under "setup" . Upon me clicking " email accounts", it prompt for the one key password. I have never faced this issue before. I am very very sure that my password is correct. Pls advise as i need to add email accounts. Other programs are working fine without any password required being prompt. ie. blackberry world
This is very very urgent to be resolved. Pls help.

My apple id and icloud emails are different! Can't delete the iCloud account bc I forgot the password! Help please!!!

I Have tried to recover my password through email but when I check the email address it is under, there is no email. Additionally, when I try to answer security questions to change it, it says my birthday doesnt match their records!! So frustrating! When I try to delete the account it says I need to turn off the Find My iPhone setting but to do that I need the password!

You'll need to contact iTunes Store support to have your questions and answers reset.

AppleID password - need help...

So somehow when I was trying to set up things with the lates iOS5 update, I changed my password to my account that manages my iTunes store account with my phone. I created this account a long time ago and no longer have that email address so I can't just send the password reset to my email account and when I enter my birthdate to just reset with security questions, I must have entered my birthdate incorrectly years ago. Now I am stuck with all my music and apps that I've paid for and no access to do anything else to my phone. I am quite upset with myself. There has to be a fix, I just don't know how. Help!

You've gone to Apple ID Support and tried everything suggested? The last thing to try on that page is Contact Support. Hope this helps.

I had apple account and I changed my password, need help getting iTunes back on my pc with my new password.

I had my pc repaired , They took off itunes. My apple ID is the same , but I changed my password, I have download 3 iTunes executive files , But ITunes is not on my pc. Can you help ,me. thank you

Unless you can find a copy of iLife on eBay or Craig's list, you'll have to buy it from Apple or erase your drive.
Reinstalling from your original discs and then upgrading will take a while, but you'll save the cost of iLife.

Forgot my Password. Help!

I have forgotten my password for my User Account and can not install new software.
When I went to Accounts in System Preferences and selected my account and Change Password, the "Password Hint" is what I had put in originally -- "my dog's name." But whenever I put in my dog's name in the password box, I get invalid password or user name. I tried several spellings to no avail. What can I do now? Thanks.
Rich

Get another dog?
