How do you unlock your ipod touch 4th generation, when i forgot my passcode to it?

I'm not sure how to unlock my ipod.

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: 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.

  • How do you restore a ipod touch 4th generation that you do not have to lock code too?

    Hey guys,
    I need some help.. my little brother got a ipod touch for christmas last year. He lost it sometime this year, and i found it the other day. When he lost it, it had a lock code on it, and now he can't remember the lock code. Itunes wont let me restore it without the lock code. This is a troublem because we can't do anything with the ipod. If someone knows how to unlock the ipod without the lock code or the serial number being needed that would help a lot. He also doesn't have the serial number because when he got the box he threw it away, and there are too many scratches on the back of the ipod to recover the serial number. Pleasae help.

    Type "unable to restore" into the search bar at the top of this page by Support and read the resulting help article.

    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 you unlock an ipod touch if you forgot the password?

    You can't. Type in the wrong password until, it says "Connect to iTunes". Then connect it to iTunes. You will wait 1 minute, five minutes, 15 minutes, then 60 minutes, then you can connect it to iTunes.
