You can send this iPod to Apple Support for servicing to have them reset it.
Or you can download itunes, a free application from apple, to reset it.
But you will not be able to use it in it's current condition without first unlocking it.
I'm not sure what the point of saying that is, but considering your previous comment let's set the record straight.
If someone finds a piece of lost property, it should be handed in to, either:
the police if found in the street or a public area.
the lost property office of the railway/bus company/similar if found on a train, station or bus.
the security office if found in a shopping mall, public building or similar.
Then, assuming that the owner who has lost it reports it to the police, lost property office, security office etc. (which is their obvious course of action) that the owner will have it returned. Here in the UK, if an item of lost property is not claimed by it's owner after a set time, most organisations usually have a procedure for disposing of it lawfully.
What a finder does not do is keep said lost property for themselves. I believe that in the UK it is known as theft by finding. It's certainly not the right thing to do.

You can lock or erase your device via Find My Phone only if it was already configured for your device ahead of time.

You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

My sister gave me her iPod and I want to change the name..is this possible?
Right now the title on my iPod is my sister's name (Erin's iPod) and I want to change it so it says my name. Is it possible to do this? Any help would be great! Thanks!
Superkix...easy......when the ipod is connected to iTunes in the left hand pane, click once on the ipod name, then click again (once) so that you can edit the name, highlight the text and change it to...say...."Erin's sisters iPod" or whatever you wish.

I just bought my cousin's ipod, and I want to update it on my computer. However, it needs authorization from his account to keep all the apps, and he's already authorized it on 5 computers. How can I update this ipod without losing all the apps?
You cannot use someone else's apps without violating the license agreement. The apps are tied to the owner (via Apple ID). The right thing to do would be to update and start fresh.

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
