How do I unlock my apple IPOD touch phone? I have lost the passcode

Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

HT4113 How do I unlock my sons ipod touch as he has forgotten the password!

My son has forgotten his passcode, how do you reset please?
Tried the on/off button with round button hold for ten seconds, no joy....

On/Off turning doesn't solve this Issue.
The only way for that is a forced restore (that means a restore and will delete all data from die iPod).
1. Turn the iPod Off
2. Put the USB cable in ur PC (direct not in a HUB)
3. Press the Home Button
4. Put the USB cable in the iPod (still pressing the Home button)
5. Now the iPod should appear in iTunes > make a restore
Yes the complete data on the iPod will be deleted, no there is no other way as long as nobody knows the password.

If she set up Find My iPod on it before this happened, follow the instructions listed under "If you don't have access to a computer" here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212. Otherwise, you would have to use a computer to restore it by following one of the other two solutions listed at the bottom of the article.

You can only uncheck the cell phone number. The only way to delete it is to use for FaceTime and Messages an Apple ID not associated with the iPhone.

Does any one know how to unlock the touch if you have forgotten the passcode?

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.

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 I enable my ipod touch if I have forgotten my passcode?

How can I enable my ipod touch if I have forgotten my passcode? I can't restore it from itunes because it is locked.

Hold down the sleep/off button for three seconds. Then keep holding it, and push the home button and old both for 10 seconds. The screen should go black about 6 seconds into that. After that, let go of the sleep button and keep holding the home button for 10 seconds. This will force the iPod into DFU mode, and you can restore it in iTunes. If at first you don't succeed, try again, because the timing can be tricky.

Want to sell my iPod Mini but i have lost the CD and need to burn one

Hi i want to sell my iPod Mini but i have lost the CD that it came with. Is there anyway that i can download what was on it and burn it onto a CD for the person who buys it? If that is possible i would appreciate if you could link me to what i would need to download for both the Windows and the Mac.
Thanks

That is correct, you do not need to give them any disk. They can download the iPod Updater (something they might not already have) and iTunes (might already have it), both more recent versions than came with the iPod, from iTunes.com.
