How do i wipe my ipod touch if its disabled?

My ipod touch is disabled but i don't want to recover it, only wipe it, how do i do that?

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

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
If you want to:
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
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        
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 synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.

  • I forgot my password to ipod touch and its disabled and the screen is telling me to connect to itunes

    i forgot my password to my ipod touch and its disabled and the screen is telling me to connect to itunes but i cant do anything else.

    I am having the same issue. My son misplaced his iPod touch and we recently found it under his bed. He then came to me saying he could not remember what his password was and the screen said it was disabled and to connect it to iTunes.  iTunes says it needs to be unlocked.  I have tried turning it off and then holding down the home key and then plugging it in but it fails to go into restore mode.  I have attempted other variations as well (Holding down both the home and sleep buttons, etc but so far nada.  Just curious if anyone else has seen a problem getting it into restore mode and if they found a solution.

  • HT3402 How can I find my iPod touch if its lost?

    How can I find my iPod touch when lost

    - 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. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing

  • HT1414 How can I get into my iPod Touch when its disabled because I forgot the password?

    Hi,
    My name is Amanda Davis and my daughter, Sydney Davis, got an iPod Touch. A few days ago, she changed her password to what she thought was her name, but instead she changed to something else and she can't get into it. She tried to put her password in it and it locked her out every single time. Now it is disabled.

    1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
    3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.
