HT1430 need to reset ipod touch, passcode locked

need to know how to reset ipod touch that is passcode locked

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.
You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode

  • Need to reset iPod touch...

    after agreeing to update software version when i connected to iTunes yesterday, it appeared to back up, but eventually I got error message that it can't be restored.  I can hold power button to turn off then back on, but still comes up with picure of usb cable connector, an arrow, and iTunes logo.  Now to reconnect to computer itunes doesn't recognize it.  Any assistance would be appreciated.

    More than likely, You are using an old version of iTunes that is trying to restore to a non-signed file. Update your iTunes then restore in DFU mode (if youve ever jailbroken you know how, or you can google 'iPod Touch DFU video')

    The ipod is locked in recovery mode. Everytime I plug it into the computer iTunes pops up and says it has detected ipod in recovery mode and it must be restored before using it with itunes.
    After I go throught he extracting software and then it locks up in itunes saying its waiting for the ipod but it just sits there for hrs with no result.
    I need help please

    No. You have to restore. To allow the restore try the following:
    - A reset.
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Manually placing the iPod in Recovery Mode
    - Placing the iPod in DFU mode.

    - If you can't turn the iPod off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
