Forgotten passcode on ipod touch

My 9 year old had a passcode on his ipod touch. Yesterday he went to use it and it keeps saying passcode incorrect and a message that says "ipod disabled" keeps coming up now. He didn't change it and it keeps locking us out for up to 60 min. at a time before it lets us try a new one. VERY FRUSTRATING! He is very responsible and I believe he did not change the code or just "forgot it". Help please..

Hello Sir/Madam,
Follow this guide and you'll be fine.

Passcode for ipod touch

Went to use my ipod touch today and it asked for a passcode for the very first time ( have had it for 18 mos). I tried my apple and itunes passwords. Nothing works. Help

If for the screen-lock passcode, connect the iPod to its syncing computer and then restore via iTunes. If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcode or you do not have the syncing computer, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
You problem has been reported before and it just happens with no know cause.

Forgotten passcode disabled ipod, can't restore.

Hi there!
My son forgot his passcode, he is willing to have his iPod Touch restored but when I go through the steps here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
it doesn't bring up the restore option. It says the iPod is locked with a passcode and we must enter it, but it also doesn't clear the iPod and bring up the keypad either.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hold the home button and the sleep button together, don't let go, if you didn't enter the password to many times, the iPod may release itself. If not, ensure you take it to a shop that unlocks items, including iPods, as there is no oth way to unlock it.
Hope this helps! Don't forget, not to tell your son off to much !!
Good luck :)

sorry, I forgot to put what it said. This is what it said, "iTunes could not connect to the Ipod because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPod before it can be used with iTunes"
Try connecting the iPod touch to the computer you normally sync it with.
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 provides details about the passcode lock feature.
If you cannot remember the passcode or don't have access to the computer that the iPod is normally synced with, you can restore it from recovery mode and set it up as a new device without any data. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 will walk you through restoring from recovery mode.
