HT1320 how do i unlock my ipod if i dont know the pass code

i dont know my passcode and i need to get into my ipod

Hello calebwhite50
You would need to put your iPod touch into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. Once the restore is complete and you have a backup, within iTunes or iCloud, you can put that back up back on without the passcode coming back.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
Regards,

    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
    Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.

  • How do i unlock my ipod i don't know my pass code

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

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    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

    how do you unlock a phone when you dont know the password?

    Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). 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. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

    ... but if neither you nor the former owner knows the passcode, I believe you have a serious problem.  Are you sure you didn't just acquire a stolen iPhone?

    You need to restore it with iTunes or wipe it from the phone itself... Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.  Either of these will create a factory fresh phone, thus removing the restrictions.  Note that ALL user data will be wiped.
