How do I unfreeze my iPod from the connect to iTunes screen??

My iPod was freezing up so I reset it, and when it loaded it went to the connect to iTunes screen. [a USB cord and the iTunes symbol] and when I tried to connect it to iTunes, it said that it couldn't  connect to iTunes because it was locked with a passcode. But I can't unlock it because it is frozen on the connect to iTunes screen. Please help!!!

From iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finished, you will be asked if you wish the contents of iTunes to be copied to the iPad.
If that doesn't work, you'll need to go into Recovery Mode.
There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site.  If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again.
