How do i unlock my daughters ipod, she lost her code
My daughter locked her ipod and cant remember her code...how do we unlock it?
Hi sophiebelle03,
With a 4th gen iPod Nano, unless I'm forgetting something, the only recourse is to restore the iPod to factory setting in iTunes. That gets rid of the passcode, but also all of the content on the iPod. If there's any chance that she can remember the passcode I would give it a little while before restoring the iPod.
Hope this helps

HOw do I unlock my daughters iPod touch with no computer? Please help me!
If she set up Find My iPod on it before this happened, follow the instructions listed under "If you don't have access to a computer" here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212. Otherwise, you would have to use a computer to restore it by following one of the other two solutions listed at the bottom of the article.

How do you unlock a disabled ipod touch? My daughter has locked herself out and my computer doen't recognize it when we plug it in.
When you say it doesent recognize it do you mean it doesent apear what so ever in iTunes?, or do you get a recovery screen?
If it doesent apear what so ever try having the iPod plugged in and while it is still plugged in hold the power and home button at the same time for 10secounds and see if the device apears when it restarts.
If the device still doesent apear try another iPod connector.
Concerning the forgotten password, you will have to put your iPod in recovery mode. A video on how to do this can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm2D7-PCTaw
After that click the restore button in iTunes and wait for the process to complete.
Once it has finished restore the iPod from a backup which can be found by right-clicking the iPod name in the left of the iTunes window.
If you have any other questions please ask

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. -

If You Are Locked Out, Have Forgotten Your Passcode, or Just Need to Restore Your Device

If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
2. Connect your device to your computer.
3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
4. Select the Summary tab.
5. Select the Restore option.
6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the
Back Up option. If you have just backed up the device, it is not necessary
to create another.
7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
logo while starting up:
After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
you see "iPhone is activated."
9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
backup to restore or have forgotten your restrictions passcode, then restore as New.
If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New. -
