How do I unlock my iPod when I've forgotten my password?, How do I unlock my iPod when I've forgotten my password?

I have forgotten my iPod touch password and can't unlock it, is there any way of getting into to it without erasing all data on it? I really need to know because it is my daughters and it has pictures and other applications that we don't want to lose!

Connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes. This will erase the iPod but you can restore from backup. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.

  • HT1212 im locked out of my ipod, and the screen isnt responding when i go to swipe to unlock it or when i swipe to turn it off. But, in the top left hand corner, there is an outline of a box. how do i fix this

    im locked out of my ipod, and the screen isnt responding when i go to swipe to unlock it or when i swipe to turn it off. All of my notifications are there but i cant reply to any of them. My screen is completly unresponsive. But, in the top left hand corner, there is an outline of a box. how do i fix this?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  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.

  • HT1977 I purchased a game on my ipod touch. I restored the device to factory settings last night and when I synced all the apps back, the game is now in the demo version. How do I unlock it ? I hope I don't need to pay for the full version again.

    PES 2012 is no longer available in the US App Store and only on the British App Store currently.

    That (an app no longer available) happens sometimes.
    Your only way is if you have the appt on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case move it to your iTunes library and sync.

  • My i pod is showing a connect to itunes screen, but when I do it won't let me unlock my ipod, how do I unlock it?, my i pod is showing a connect to itunes screen, but when I do it won't let me unlock my ipod, how do I unlock it?

    My ipod died, so I put it on charge. Then the next morning I picked it up and it has "connect to Itunes" screen on it. When I did connect it Itunes id telling me to unlock it because I have a passcode on it. But how can I unlock it when the "connect to Itunes" screen won't go away? Help me. What do I do know?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    Restore.  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."

    How to unlock my ipod touch 4 when forgotten passcode ?

    You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it.  If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.

  • How can I unlock my daughters ipod.  She had forgotten the code and tried to get in so many times it says ipod disabled.  When I plug it in the computer it does not recognize it.  help please.

    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
