I am locked out of my ipod touch and forgot the password. How can i get into it without restoring it?

I have gotten locked out of my ipod touch and do not know the password, but my computer cannot restore it, so I need to know how to get in without restoring it.

PC WAY
1.Plug the iPod in computer.
2.Go to "My Computer" And click the apporiate drive your your iPod.
3.Change the folder option to "View all hidden files and folders"
4.Navigate to ipod_control
5.Then go to Device
6.Then there is a file there named"_Unlocked"
7.Open that up with a text editor (Notepad) and viola the passcode is right there.

Password lock on LG lucid. don't know the password, how can I get past this?

I am sure one of my children set this password but now can not remember it..(young kids..my fault for giving free access). Since the battery died and I had to recharge now I cant get into the phone because a PIN has been set. I dont know the pin. I see how if you have an unknown pattern it gives you the option to select forgot pattern but this doesnt seem to be happening with the password.
Can anyone help?

The safest way is to take the phone to your local Verizon store. They have the PUK (personal unlock key) to open the phone for you. Once open, you can remove the forgotten password, or change it.

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.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

You need to return it to the seller and get your money back. You cannot reset or use the device with another AppleID installed unless you know the password for that ID.
If the device has been jailbroken, no one on here can give you any further help...the Terms of Use prohibit us from doing so.

HT4865 if I forgot my screen lock out password how can I get into my ipod

I forgot my screen lock out pass code on my ipod can i get into it??

Back it up and restore it using iTunes on the last computer it was synced with. At the end of the restore process, when the iPod restarts and reappears in iTunes you will be given the option to restore to the backup you made at the beginning. When it finishes, the passcode will be removed.
This will only work if you have previously synced with iTunes after setting the passcode on your device.

I have an iPod touch version 4.2. how can I get my music from here to my computer or iPad or the cloud?

how can I get my music from my iPod touch version 4.2 to the cloud so I can listen to it on my iPad or computer? I tried a manual transfer from iTunes but that doesn't work.

- For iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
- For other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

My daughters ipad is locked she forgot the password how can we unlock it?

My daugther forgot the password and I can't get it unlock can you pls help me

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
