Hey there MP1201,
It sounds like you would like to reset your iPod Touch to factory settings but the Erase All Content and Settings function is not working. I would next try using iTunes to restore the iPod with this article:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

    Place the iPod in recovery mode and then connect to  your computer and restore to factory defaults/new iPod. For recovery mode:

  • HT4113 hello, I have an Iphone 4 and im trying to "erase all content and settings" but it asks for a passcode that i have no idea what is. its none of my previous passcodes ive ever had. What should i do to find out that passcode?

    Hello im trying to "erase all content and settings" on my iphone 4, but it keeps asking for a 4 digit passcode and i have no idea what that passcode is. It's none of my previous passwords I've had on the phone since i've used it. How do i find out that Passcode?

    Are you sure it's asking for a four digit code?
    iOS 7 has a new feature called Activation Lock.  It requires your Apple ID and password before doing something like an iPhone reset.  This is a new anti-theft feature.

    Help!!!
    Trying to erase all content and settings.
    But I forgot the passcode and the max appemtps allowed.
    How can I have the passcode reset or what do I do now?

    You'll have to restore the phone to remove the passcode.  If it's running iOS 7 with Find My iPhone enabled, you'll have to force it into recovery mode in order to restore it, as exlained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

  • Can The "Reset All Content and Settings" will remove ALL Apple Accounts?

    Good Day,
    My mom will give me a Second Hand iPhone 5s.She dont know/forget the Apple ID that its currently stored on the phone,and i said to sign out the apple ID there and she did it.
    Now my question is, Is the "Reset All Content and Settings" can delete/remove ALL Apple Accounts?
    I asked this question because, one time i read about a question here saying that when he reboot/update the phone that he didnt own first, said that the iPhone asked to input the ID that its installed/stored.
    Im curious,worried, and preparing some money to prepare for this.
    I hope someone can answer this Question within this week, so i can save money for repair etc.
    Thanks in Advance.

    No amount of money is going to change Activation Lock. If the device has iOS 7 and you restore it, then you will need the original Apple ID and password used to activate the phone to be able to activate it yourself.
    Reset All Content and Settings will not remove Activation Lock. Your mom is going to have to remember what Apple ID was used to activate the device, or it will be useless to you. Apple will not disable it.
    It is all on your mother right now.

    Hi DaVince Vince,
    I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your iPhone. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear what issues you were having that led up to the attempted Erase All, and/or exactly what behavior you are seeing now (restarting, not responding at all, etc). If you are seeing an Apple Logo screen and your iPhone does not appear to be starting correctly, you may find the following articles helpful:
    If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    Regards,
    - Brenden

  • Unlock iphone will get lock again if i do reset all content and settings???

    Unlock iphone will get lock again if i do reset all content and settings???

    I do not understand you question. From the Users Guide.
    Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    What do you mean by unlock?

  • What does "resetting all content and settings" delete?

    You will lose them from the iphone.
    You should be syncing them to your comptuer regularly, so they should be there.

  • HT201274 Tried to erase all content and settings...now it won't do anything

    I have a first generation iTouch and last night I selected to Erase All Content and Settings. I wanted to wipe it because I'm switching to an iPhone. The iTouch didn't have much charge so I started charging it while it was doing it's thing. Unfortunately, the iTouch doesn't do anything. When I hold down the power button, the white apple logo appears. It's been on a charger for several hours, too. When I plug it into my computer and open iTunes, the computer doesn't recognize the device.

    Try connecting the device to iTunes in recovery mode and restoring it. See this article for instructions on putting your iPod into recovery mode.

  • I tried to erase all content and settings and now the apple logo wont leave

    I had a lot of data on my phone and i wanted to get rid of it. so i went to the settings and went to reset. then i chose erase all content and settings. that was at about 330 today. it said it may take about an hour and i tapped ok and the apple and loading bar came up. i left the house without my phone figuring that the process would be done when i got back. i got home about 2 hours later and my phone was stuck on the logo and i couldnt get it to go away. i tried reseting it and nothing. i let the battery die and nothing. its still stuck on the logo and ocassionally the little loading circle apears and once in a while it will vibrate or flash. can anyone help me? my phone is basically my life and i depend on it for so much. any advice is greatly appreciated.

    start iTunes,
    plug in your USB cable
    switch off your iPhone
    press holding home button(the round button in front of the Phone)
    plug it on to the USB cable
    keep holding the button
    till iTunes says it found a iPhone in recovery mode
    then click restore as a NEW iPhone
    then sync!?
