If you forget your passcode and a complete restore, will this gain access to the unit?
Yes. For the screen-lock passcode you can restore from backup. You may have to place the iPod in recovery mode to do the restore. For recovery mode see:

Ifyou lost the Restrictions passcode yiou have to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

What to do if you forget your passcode and ipod is disabled?
what todo if you forget your passcode and ipod is disabled?
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. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

How do you unlock your iphone if you forgot your passcode and blocked it?
I have overguessed my passcode and now cant get on my phone?
I offered you help which included much more than just saying you're fishy, and I said this sounds fishy and it certainly does with or without your so called "facts", which certainly can't be proven based on what you say alone.
If you use the same computer that has been used for syncing with your iPhone, it shouldn't make any difference that you changed the passcode out of the blue last night that can' be remembered.
If not, you must place the iPhone into recovery mode. If successful, this will required restoring your iPhone with iTunes. If done on a computer not used for syncing your iPhone, you won't be able to restore from the backup, none of the photos on your iPhone that were transferred from the computer used for syncing your iPhone will be available, your contacts will not be available unless you are accessing an email account that includes over the air syncing for contacts, and none of your iTunes content will be available to be re-transferred to your iPhone - no music, movies, tv shows, or apps. -
It is annoying, I'm sure I will get some smartass comments about this because "well apple is just that best darn thing out there" or "its your fault" I don't give a **** this is annoying.
Apple does not have your password.
Apple does not have a magic backdoor into the device
It's a security and privacy thing.
If you can't remember your own passcode, it's your fault and you should not set one.

3. iOS- Understanding passcodes
If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync 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. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
2. Connect your device to your computer.
3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
4. Select the Summary tab.
5. Select the Restore option.
6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
necessary to create another.
7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
logo while starting up:
After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
you see "iPhone is activated."
9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
backup to restore, then restore as New.
If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.
