how do you unlock an Ipod that is disabled?

If the iPod is showing the 'disabled' screen due to too many failed passcode attempts then you will need to connect the iPod to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPod and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPod into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If you do it via a different computer then :
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.

If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
Just what do you not understand?

How do I unlock my ipod touch that shows a red disabled screen, and not been able to connect to the original computer it was sync to?

How do I unlock my ipod touch showing a red ipod disabled connect to itunes, with the disadvantage of not having the original computer that my ipod was sync to?

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, you'll need to restore the iPod. Since you don't have the original computer, this will erase all the content on the iPod. 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:
