Ipod touch password is locked

My daughters ipod touch is locked and she does not know the password. The laptop that it was originally connected to no longer works. I have an iphone connected to my computer and was thinking I could hook hers up to mine and some how restore hers? When I plug hers in, it says I need the password to do anything. I thought about taking it over to grandma's (no itunes account on her computer) and try to set up a new itunes account for her.....but will it STILL ask for a password? If anybody has any ideas please let me know. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

okay!! you will have to put it in COMPLETE restore mode!!!!!!!!!!
Steps:
1. hold the sleep button for 3 seconds (the off button)
2. then hold the sleep and home button for 10 seconds
3. then let go of the power button
4. still hold the home button for 10 seconds
5. Let go
6. Then turn it on and it should say that you need to plug it into itunes!
happened to me heaps of tiems lol

Hi my ipod touch has been locked and i dont know the password to it. What do i do because my computer says it has to be unlocked before i can do anything. So if you have an answer that would be great thanks.

You have to restore the iPod.

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.

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 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.

I forgot my password to get into my IPod Touch and am locked out.

My daughter locked me out of our IPod touch. My computer is so old that I am not able to get into the Apple Support to see how to fix it. Does anyone know a way around this? Is there a way that we can unlock the touch without hooking it up to the computer? She never used to put a password on it until she started taking it to school and was afraid other kids would get it and look at her stuff or get into the apps. Can I call Apple and ask them or do I have to hook it up to the computer to unlock it? Please help! I am desperate!!!

Hello eunhyuk143,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
If you can no longer remember the passcode to your iPod, you'll have to connect the iPod Touch in *Recovery Mode* to the computer you normally sync it to and restore it via iTunes as new. For more information on how to place your iPod Touch in *Recovery Mode*, see this Apple support document.
