How do i get my restriction off if i cant remember the password?
A few months ago i added a restriction on accident and now i cant figure out my password if anyone could possibly tell me how to get it off i would gladly appreciate it!!
Important: If you forget your passcode, you must restore the iPod touch software from iTunes. See “Updating and Restoring iPod touch Software” on page 216.

Before you do a restore, save your data How to back up your data and set up as a new device

How can you get your iPod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to the Internet Connection and you don't want to reset it.
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
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. -
HT4236 how do i get back into my ipod if i forgot the password
how do i get back into my ipod if i forgot the password
If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the iPod from the computer to which the iPod is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPod into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

i have an apple i phone that is disabled because cant remember the password to get into the phone i was told to sign into i tunes to be able to unlock my phone. i have i tunes i get into on my i phone but can not get into it on my computer??
Hey grandkids7k,
Thanks for the question. The following resource provides troubleshooting information if you have forgotten your passcode:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, 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 shut down.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
5. iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
Thanks,

how do I access an old iTunes account if the email address no longer exists, I can't remember the password, and iTunes won't accept my birth date?
THe fist does not work as it's asked for a birthdate and will not recognize mine. in reasearching this further,it looks as if iTunes not recognizing the correct answer to a security question is a very common problem and that this is actually a huge issue that has lead to many folks not being able to ever access their purchased music again. Apple support has not even been able to unlock old user ID accounts. Is their a class action lawsuit in regards to this?
