You can restore from backup since the screen-lock passcode is not restored.
Disabled
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.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
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.

Forgot user password, how to reset mac pro to factory settings

hi guys,
Recently I bought a used mac OS X 10.5, am very new to mac world. i am unable to load any softwares like wireless adapters since I am unable to get the password for the previous user. Also, I would like to reset the computer to factory settings, can I do that? Would you folks help me out!!
thanks

The Mac Pro has 4 internal drive sleds, no cables, that just pull out and slide back in.
Pull out the original drive and see what else is there.
Buy yourself or use one of your own drives.
HOLD 'C' to boot from a DVD.
Holding OPTION or Alt will show a boot menu of valid boot volumes (can include Windows even). You could boot from Windows CD/DVD and nuke the whole thing.
Before installing, go to UTILITY menu and DISK UTILITY and ERASE the drive (not the subset volume).
Assume you know your way around Mac and OS, yes?
You don't know what was or wasn't, and if you don't own license for software etc that is on the computer, another reason to wipe it clean.
Start from scratch.
Call AppleCare Customer Support and they can send out discs for fee, insure it is 'legit' (need to give them the serial number from case).

I have an ipod touch 4th generation, 8gb. I tried to update to ios 6.0.1, but it reset my ipod to factory settings instead. How do I get everything back? Help please!

Hi! Today I tried to update my ipod touch 4th generation to ios 6.0.1. But the final result was my ipod being reset to factory settings. I don't know what happened. Does it mean I lost everything on my ipod? How do I get everything back? I had backed up my ipod on my computer before updating. Will that help? I don't know what to do now. I'm not very good with anything electronic, so now I'm afraid to touch anything in case I make it worse...

The backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music. Se the following for what it does contain.

How do i reset my ipod to factory settings as for some reason in itunes it is giving me ipod full msg when it is empty

I can't understand what is going on as my ipod 2gb 2nd gen. is saying that my ipod is full when i sync when it is empty.

Hey,
Plug it into iTunes and select the iPod on the left, click restore, however all data on the iPod will be lost and will need to synced again from iTunes which should have most of the iPod data if synced recently.

How to reset or restore to factory settings A205-S4617 satelite

I have a A205-S4617 Satelite that I bought just over a year ago from Circuit City and I am having alot of problems with it . I think it would be easier and faster just to return it back to the way it was when I first bought it . I want it to be the way it was when it was new . It also seems not to be able to read a DVD oand it will not burn anything to a DVD . But i can use a CD in it just fine . I seems like either its not able to see a DVD and is not configured correctly or its broken . I have never tried to use the DVD until now so either way it was like this when it was new . I have the 2 Recovery and Applications /Drivers Satelite A200/A205 Home Premium disks and have tried to use the the way it says to ( hold down the C key when it boots up ) when i turn it on but this doesnt do anything . It deoesnt seem to see the DVD . And when I put a DVD in the drive it always says please insert a dick into the drive , it doesnt see the DVD . So how do I restore my laptop to the way it was when it was new . Randall

The DVD 'side' of the CD/DVD drive has probably failed, since you cannot boot from the recovery DVD nor read any DVD at all.
Since the recovery DVD must be run from the internal drive, your only option is to have the drive replaced.

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO RESET THE FCP to factory settings?

My FCP 6.0 will not allow me to capture for some very complicated reason..
When i click on the capture now, it has a pop up saying...
The current Capture Scratch drive(s) are too full. Please remove files from these drives or select a new capture scratch location.
Ive used the boot drive to capture, ive used 3 diff EX HDD but nothing has changed.

How to reset a iPod shuffle 2nd Gen

How can I reset my 2nd Gen shuffle, as I was out running and it just stopped working. Thought it was needing charging however, it won't charge at all,,,,,, Dead!!! Any advice??

A hard reset or a complete reset to factory settings? To do a hard reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
To completely reset the iPod to factory settings, head to Settings -> General -> Reset and tap Erase all Content and Settings.
