How do I unlock my iPod Nano???

I locked my iPod, and I forget the code to unlock it. (I know, I know) Is there a way to unlock it without using the "Restore" in iTunes? PLEASE HELP.

Restore the iPod. Restoring will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like. When you switch on the iPod after the restore you'll be able to choose the language: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings with iTunes 7

    Use your iPod cable and connect it to your computer.
    When iTunes opens, look for the name of the iPod in the Sources frame on the very left hand side under the category DEVICES. Click on the name of the iPod.
    Move one frame to your right and look for a tap towards the top of that frame that says Summary. If it is not already selected click on it.
    Look for a button on that frame that says Restore. Click on that button and follow the directions. After the Restore is complete if the iPod is set to autosync it should put music back on the iPod.

  • How do I unlock my iPod nano 4g?

    I have an iPod nano 4th generation 8gb and have loved it for the past 5 years! All of a sudden it seems to have locked me out even though I have never set a password
    I have tried all the usual passwords (0000 1234 etc) but none of these have worked
    I'd really like to get it working again because I really miss it!
    Thank you for any advice

    Connect it to iTunes and Restore it.

  • TA44535 How do I unlock my Ipod?

    My iPod screen will not unlock itself. I've entered my password in and have been locked out for over 4 hours today. I've attempted to find some sort of unlocking mechanisum on iTunes but they all require the password to be added. I am unable to access anything on my iPod and I really hope to find a solution as to how to unlock the screen without the unknown password. My ipod is in iTouch 3rd generation, if that helps at all.

    how to unlock my ipod nano when i have forgot code

    If you do not know the combination, you can try and connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it.  Upon properly ejecting it from iTunes and your PC, you may find that it is now unlocked. If it is, disable the screen lock or change the combination immediately.
    Otherwise, your only other option is to connect it to iTunes and restore it to factory settings.

    Hi, China6450.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I would recommend setting up Manually manage music.  This will only allow music to be synced from the computer to the iPod nano.  Here are some helpful articles that will walk you through the process.

    How is your iPod configured to sync content from your iTunes library? Any error messages during the sync process? 
    You may want to reset warnings on the device by right->clicking on it under Devices and choosing Reset Warnings.  Then resync the iPod to see if any alerts appear.
    Is this the same computer you normally sync the Nano with?

    You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPod forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

    Hello Kimberly j,
    You can either set up a service request with Apple through this or you can bring it into your local Apple Store/AASP and have them set one up for you.

    Another option would be a 3rd party repair company who would be able to fix the iPod at a much lower cost.
