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/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.

  • My sister lost her iPod touch password

    Hi,
    My sister forgot her iPod Touch's password. We do not have the original computer that syncs the iPod since she only synced it once. Therefore, we cannot restore from a backup... At this point, we don't mind loosing all the data on the iPod, she wants to be able to use it. What can we do!?
    Thank you

    Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to rest the passcode during this process:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    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.

  • I lost my ipod touch which is not protected by a password, how to remove email info?

    Hi,
    I lost my ipod touch which is not protected by a password. How can I prevent the new 'owner' to have access to my email? I changed my email password already, but I'm wondering if one can still have access to the email without entering the new password, (it is the case with my new phone, nexus5), since the mail app automatically syncs with my email...
    Thanks
    Carmen

    Did you have Find My iPhone turned on on the device?
    If so, go to https://www.icloud.com/ and go to Find My iPhone. Click on the iPod, and even if it is no online, set it to Lost Mode. You can lock it and put a message on it. Once it comes back online, it will be locked.
    Cheers,

  • I lost my ipod touch ver 4 password, the connector to computer was broken, only can charge ipod and can not use itunes, how can I do?

    I lost my ipod touch ver4 password, but the ipod somehow is broken, can not connect to a computer, the connector can only be used as a charger, I do not want to repair, so how can I recovery the passord?

    With no iTunes:
    If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
    Otherwise, find a coputer with iTunes and an internet connection and:
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    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.

  • 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.

  • When you download iTunes material, does iTunes record the IP used where it is being downloaded to?  I am trying to track a lost/missing IPOD Touch and want to know if they have that data.

    When you download iTunes material, does iTunes record the IP used where it is being downloaded to?  I am trying to track a lost/missing IPOD Touch and want to know if they have that data.   It was left on a small street and someone has found it and has been hacking into my account by resetting my password.  They took about 41+ dollars from my account.   I am hoping the IP it was connecting with to download to it was tracked and that I can get that information to figure out where it is located.

    No. From the second link below.

  • Lost my ipod touch can i find it if someone uses it

    I lost my ipod touch can i find it if someone uses it

    If you set up the Find My iPod service prior to the iPod going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPod is turned on, connected to a WiFi network, and has not had the Find My iPod service disabled or the iPod been completely restored). 
    If you did not set up Find My iPod, then there is no way to track it. Contact the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPod (the iTunes Store, for instance). 
    Regards.

  • My friend lost my ipod touch at the movie theatre. Is there any way i can track it?

    My friend lost my ipod touch at the movie theatre. Is there any way i can track it?

    If the FindMyiPod feature is alreay tuned on and wifi is on nd the theater has free wifi and automatically connect you can go to icloud.com and fnd its general location and have it make a sound, send it a message and wipe it. However, that feature can be defeated by turning the iPod off or restoring the iPod.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod. Report it to the theater and police.

  • Lost my ipod touch. i want to delete my account, How?

    I lost my Ipod touch. How do I delete my apple account?

    Change your iTunes password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
