How do I unlock a disabled iPod Touch without having the last computer it synced with, without restoring, but knowing the password?

Hello, I have a disabled iPod touch that was taken from me by a family member, but then retreived by me. Said family member had tried the passcode lock so many times they disabled my ipod. We recently threw out one of our laptops which was so old it crashed for good. This was the last compter it synced with. I know the password to my iPod, but am unable to unlock it because it is disabled, and my laptop is not the last that my iPod synced with. I do not wish for my iPod to be restored, because i have important notes in the iPod that are too important to delete. What shall I do?

If the iPod will be undisabled after the stated period of time you can wait that long. However, you may have to wait a long, long, long time. Otherwise wyou will have to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore.  The screen lock is a good security feature.

    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
    Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.

    How do I unlock my apple IPOD touch phone? I have lost the passcode

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • I just chnged the password on myipod.Now when i try the new password it doesn't work,and when I try the old password it doesn't work.I know how to unlock it, but  the last computer i synced it with isnt working so there's no way for me to get my stuffback

    So changed the password on my ipod touch this afternoon, and eversince then the password is not working. I keep trying the old password and hen the new one but none are working. I know there is a way to unlock it, but that would delete all my stuff and the last computer i synced my ipod to is broken, so ther'es now ay for me to get my things back. Could i have made a mistake when entering the new password?

    Could i have made a mistake when entering the new password?
    It's entirely possible. And it sounds like you already know what needs to happen in order to correct it.  I'm afraid you won't be able to salvage any data that hasn't been included in your latest backup of the device via iTunes.
