I have forgotten the iPod password.

I have forgotten the iPod password.  How do I start over so I can use it with iTunes?

Hello Larry
What you would need to do is put your iPod nano into Disk Mode and then plug it in to your computer to then restore it in iTunes. Check out the article below for the steps to do that.

  • I was trying to update my ipod to iOs 5 but I have forgotten the backup password

    I was trying to update my ipod to iOs 5 but I have forgotten the backup password help please?

    You need to restore your iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.  That is the only choise.
    Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
    If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

  • I have forgotten the root password

    I have forgotten the root pasword on my powerbook, how do I reset it?

    Well, likely any PB could install 10.5.x, but whehter a newer more worthless, more demanding  OSX would help is your decision...
    Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
        *  Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
    minimum system requirements
        * 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    Trouble is appl no longer sells it, you have to search eBay & such for the full retail version, not any grey Install Disc.
    There are workarounds if the 867MHz is the only hangup...

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup

    Then restore via iTunes. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:

    To restore from backup (ether the ne you just made if you could make one or from a previous backup) see:
    iOS: How to back up
    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.

  • HT1430 what to do when I have forgotten my ipod password and it says disabled

    My son has forgotten his password and managed to disable it what do I do ?

    You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it.  If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.

  • I have an old emac I want to use and have forgotten the master password. Is there anyway to reset it?

    How to reset master password for an OLD emac.

    Thanks. I wish I had that info earlier. Unfortunately I got a set of OS emac installation disks and tried to install and start over  which basically erased everything. There were 16 disks and when I got to disk twelve it "failed" and asked to try again. I went through the whole process again and same message again.
    Now I am stuck with the installer which wants me to install disc 2 to continue installation. It won't let me do anything else.
    I know there must be a way to erase and start over but I'm not sure where to start.  Any ideas?
