IPod touch password forgotten

I can't remember the password to my iPod touch and now it says, "iPod is disabled. Connect to iTunes". I no longer have the computer I set it up with. I researched a little and tried to put it in recovery mode on iTunes on my laptop. However, to restore it, it kept saying I would have to enter my password first. This was not required on all the tutorials I watched. I just need to know how to get my iPod turned on again without having a pass code. Do you have any suggestions?

This "However, to restore it, it kept saying I would have to enter my password first." means you did not get it into Recovery mode. Keep ttrying
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
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.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Can not access home network via ipod touch, password entered not accepted

Can not access home network via ipod touch, password entered not accepted
Trying to help my son set up his ipod touch to connect to the network and the password I entered is not accepted.
1. Which password is required? I entered the password I use for logging into my router
2. The home network is recognized, when selected it requires a password to be entered, but I am just not sure what password it is looking for to connect.
I have not been able to find any information on this subject

jersey0904, Welcome to the discussion area!
You need to enter the wireless encryption password... not the administrative password for the router.

Lost my iPod touch password

What I can do to recover my iPod touch password to unlock

you can try to guess it, but thats it.
You are talking about the "slide to unlock" pass code right? All you can do is guess. You will eventually get locked out of your ipod if you guess it wrong too many times. You cannot restore from backup, because it will have your passcode on it as well.
all you can do is restore as new.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 Make a backup of your pictures
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 Transfer your purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 setting up as new
Turn on iCloud (Settings>iCloud>turn everything on you want saved)
After you restore as new, you can sync all your apps and music back over. make sure you write down the icloud account you are signed in to (some people have multiple accounts)
By the way if you do get locked out, look at the following article.

Lost Ipod Touch password, no backup, please help

My daughter forgot her ipod touch password. She has never backed it up on itunes before. She has a lot of games and tunes that she purchased. Is there a way to recover that password without losing the downloads? Any help is appreciated!

Hi debs2014,
You will have to place your daughter's iPod Touch into recovery mode to restore the device to default factory settings.
There is no other way to recover a lost password, but to place the device in recovery mode then restore.
Here's the article for placing the device in recovery mode:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If your daughter purchased apps and music from itunes she can re-download from the itunes and apps store apps on her device by tapping the icons on home screen, then signing in with apple id and password.
Here an article that can help you re-download past purchases:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
If your daughter didn't purchase the apps and tunes from the itunes or apps stores, then she will have to re-download or re-purchase the items from where she purchased the apps and tunes initially.
Hope this helps.
Let me know.

IPod Touch 4G forgotten password.. STUCK

Haven't used my iPod Touch 4th gen in nearly a year for preference of my Cowon Z2. Turned it on today to realize that I had forgotten the password...
I wanna restore it anyways so I held down the correct buttons etc etc to get it into recovery mode and it worked - but when connected to iTunes it comes back with either 'This iPhone is locked' or error code 0xE8000084 'iTunes cannot connect to this iPhone'
Tried DFU mode as well. Different cord, different laptop, same result.
I'm at a loss here. Is internal damage ruled out? Maybe the port is messed up. Maybe(probably not) it has something to do with jailbreak.
What the heck do I do, guys

Forgotten Ipod touch password

i baught my son an ipod touch and he keep changing the password for no-what-so-ever reason. now even he dont know the password what to do?

Connect it to iTunes and click Restore. That's the only way to get around the passcode lock. The Restore will wipe all the data from the IPT, but if you are Restoring from the computer normally used to sync the IPT, everything will be restored once you sync.

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS- Understanding passcodes
A Complete Guide to Recover Your iDevice if You Forget Your Passcode
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.
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 can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
Placing your device into recovery mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
     1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
         of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
     2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the
         red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
          If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons.
     3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
         The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
         charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
         start with step 2 again.
     4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
         When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
     5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
     6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

What do I do?!?!?!?!?! I just want to be able to use the iPod again
