How do i unlock my ipod i don't know my pass code

Does any one know how to unlock an iPod 4th gen I've been locked out for weeks now! And nothing will let me in!!

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
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

HT1320 how do i unlock my ipod if i dont know the pass code

i dont know my passcode and i need to get into my ipod

Hello calebwhite50
You would need to put your iPod touch into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. Once the restore is complete and you have a backup, within iTunes or iCloud, you can put that back up back on without the passcode coming back.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
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.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom

I need some help, somebody has turned the restrictions on on my daughters iPad mini and we don't know the pass code to turn it off. She has lost the iTunes icon because of this. Anybody know what to do? Thanks

Help, somebody has turned the restrictions on on my daughters iPad mini and we don't know the pass code to turn it off. She can't use iTunes because of them being turned on.

Many thanks

If you can't remember your passcode, you'll have to restore it to remove the passcode, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.
If you're running iOS 7 with Fid My iPod enabled, in order to restore it you'll have to force it into recovery mode as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808, or erased it with Find My iPhone on icloud.com.

How to back up an iPod 5th Gen iOS 8 without pass code

Hello,
The screen of my son's iPod touch was broken and now no longer accepts swipe or touch input. We would like to back it up so we can restore on to a new iPod.
We connected to iTunes on the computer normally used to sync it, but iTunes wants us to unlock the iPod before doing anything. This is so far impossible due to the broken screen. Sometimes, we can get the number pad up, but we can't enter more than the first number because the screen is so broken.
Is there any way at all for us to back up this iPod? We don't have anything backed up to iCloud, so that's not an option.
Thanks for any tips, or condolences as the case may be.
Charles

There are a number of third party apps that will transfer data from the iPod to your PC. Perhaps one may work for you. A number of them are written up on this page: http://ipod.about.com/od/ipodcopybackuptransfer/tp/Top-Programs-Transfer-Ipod-To -Computer.htm You can also do a Google search on iPod transfer. Also look up iExplorer, DiskAid, iFunBox, Aiseesoft iPhone Transfer, etc.

You will have to restore using the recovery mode as described in the article you reference, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212

I don't know my pass code

I left my phone at a friends and used my find my phone app on my iPad and it locked the phone. I have never set up a pass code but it's asking for one and I don't know what to do

Your "friend" locked the phone with a passcode, so ask him/her what it is. This does not happen automatically, it was a deliberate action on their part.
Either that, or you force the phone into recovery mode & restore it, as described here, to remove the passcode:

You might want to find a new friend.

passcode

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:

HT1414 what if i don't know my pass code locked on screen

You'll likely have to restore as shown in the HT1414 article you attached.
Here's an article that discusses being locked out because of passcode:

I don't know my pass code so how can I get the software update on my iPhone 4 and iPad?

If you have a Mac and elected to save it on your keychain, you can recover it from your keychain. If not, but you have a Mac, create an iTunes backup then read the passcode following this guide: http://www.simonblog.com/2011/03/16/how-to-recover-forgotten-iphone-restrictions -passcode/.
If you don't have a Mac, you'll have to save as much of your data as you can, restore it as a new iPod (without using your backup) and start over.
