HELP ASAP!! Lettered password tried first time, caused my ipod to be unrecognized by iTunes and only solution is restore, which I don't want to do!

     I put in a lettered passcode recently and now it won't work anymore and iTunes could not let me type in the password and only solution is to restore it. I really do NOT want to restore it at all because I highly value the info, saved pics and links, especially the music I saved which is only on my ipod, not anywhere else, not even my computer. I am a music person and I work and live for music, and recently I saw a new kind of passcode which can be lettered instead of a 4-digit passcode, so I went ahead with it, which made me comfortable. Until I realized as soon as I clicked the top button (which just put it to sleep or off) and when I click it on, it says it has to be plugged to iTunes. I thought I would have to get home to type in my lettered passcode to get in, which I did. But when I plugged it in, there's no password needed or anything like that. iTunes won't even recognize my iPod, and the solution is to restore it, which I refuse to do, because all my work is in this iPod of mine I've had since nearly 4 years now.
     PLEASE HELP ME ASAP!!!!!!! I can't live without music, I know it's hard to believe but it's true. Is there any other way I can get my iPod to work without having to restore it and lose everything I've worked for in it?? None of it is saved to any other computer or technogical device. Everything is in my iPod. Please help!! I am struggling each day without music, it's impossible, I miss music and I need to hear it, and the iPod is the only way for me to hear as of for now because I am deaf/hard-of-hearing and my hearing aids are broken, so I use the ipod everywhere I go to listen to music on my earphones/headphones, I can't carry my computer anyways, lol. Please may any of you help me solve this problem?? I will be eternally grateful! THANKS SO MUCH!!

If you are unable to enter the passcode into your device, you will have to restore the device to circumvent that passcode.
Is the music purchased from iTunes? If it is you can contact iTunes support and ask them to allow you to re-download the music that you purchased from iTunes.
Also, do you sync the device regularly? When syncing an iPod Touch/iPhone a backup file is made. That backup file doesn't contain your music but it does contain your address book, application data, pictures, notes, etc. After restoring your device, you can try restoring from the last backup that was made of your device so you will not have to start over completely from scratch.
Hope this helps!
