Forgotten Screen-Lock Passcode
Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

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

You can't. You will have to place the iPod in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

can you help me to reopen my ipad

In order to activate your iPad that has activation lock (asking for Apple ID and Password) you will need to figure out your Apple ID and Password. If you are unable to figure this out or reset your Apple ID Password, you will need to contact Apple for further assistance.

When i first opened my itunes acct. i was sharing with my daughter. she has gotten her own acct. now and we cannot remember the password to the old one. it will not let me sign in with my birth date and my email address is no longer the one on file help

When I first opened my itunes acct. i was sharing with my daughter. some time ago she got her own acct. i thought i should get my own too. so for the last several years i used my new acct. i reciently wanted to add some new cds to my ipod and it said that some of the songs that i purchased were no longer there. and were associated with a different acct. so i tried to log in to my old acct. but it asked for my birthday and the one i entered didnt match the records, and i no longer have the email address from the old acct to email me so i can reset the password. i have well over 100 songs that i purchased back then and i cant believe i cant get them back!! someone please help me. i love my music and i really want my other songs back.

Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466, and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

HT1414 My daughter placed a password on her ipod touch. Now she cannot remember the password and the ipod is reading, ' iPod is disabled connect to iTunes."

If your ipod touch says it's disabled and to connect to itunes, but itunes wont recognize it due to being disabled, what do you do??

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

My ipod is on lock and i cant remember the combination

i acidentally put my ipod on lock and i cant remember the combination. what do i do?

Damon,
From your link;
"Unlocking iPod
You can unlock iPod in one of two ways:
1. Enter the combination on iPod using the same controls you used to set the combination. If you do not enter the correct combination, the digits onscreen flash red. When you enter the combination correctly, iPod will unlock and return you to the last viewed screen.
2. Connect iPod to the primary computer you use it with (the first one iPod synced with), and open iTunes. When you disconnect iPod from the computer, it will no longer be locked."
