My 7 year old has forgotten her password and now her ipod touch is locked and says connect to itunes. I have tried to connect however it will not connect because it is locked. How can I reset her password?

My seven year old daughter got an ipod touch a few months ago from her father. She has now forgotten her password and it has been tried too many times and so the ipod has been disabled. It now say connect to itunes. I have tried to do this with the USB cable and itunes on my computer. Unfortunately it will not work as it will not connect saying the device is locked and to enter the password.
This is not the computer that she previously connected to and she may not be able to get access to that computer. Is there a way for us to reset the password preferably without having to restore the ipod and lose everything she has on it?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                          
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from 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.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    If you have a backup for your iPhone with iTunes on your computer, you can get the iPhone's serial number and IMEI number from the iPhone's backup on your computer.

    ipod will not let me put in passcode how can i reset it?

    If a reset (the method Kevin refers to) doesn't work, you'll probably need to try putting the iPod into recovery mode and restoring it:

    If that still doens't work, your iPod may have suffered a hardware failure and will need to taken or sent to Apple for service.

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

  • HT204085 What is "local items"keychain and its password, how can i reset the password if i forgot the password

    What is "local items"keychain and its pasword. how can i reset the password if i forget the password?

    I just fixed the same problem.  Here's what to do. 
    Click on the finder, then scroll across to the GO on the top menu bar, but also hold down the option or alt key while you do this.
    scroll down the go menu to library and highlight library.
    the library folder will open
    go to the keychains folder and open it
    in the keychains folder, then click and drag the blue folder that has all the letters and numbers for a title like "A2CEEE274-....."
    drag this folder to the desktop
    now restart your machine
    when the machine restarts, you should see the keychains folder still open with a new folder in it that looks just like the one you dragged out onto the desktop
    throw the one on the desktop out in the trash
    You just reset the keychain folder so the new mavericks update could recognize it correctly, by the way apple customer support mentioned the reason this was happening was due to the update, and this is the standard fix.  The apple keychain access pw should be your apple id or logon password. 
    Good luck!!!

  • HT201412 how can you reset your password to simple 4 digit format?

    How can your reset your password to simple format without reseting the whole phone?

    Turn off passcode, then re-enable such. Note: if you have an Exchange account, the requirement to use a non-simple passcode can be enforced by a profile installed on your phone when setting up the Exchange account.

  • HT1904 How can i reset my password

    How can i reset my password i had setup for my parental control. I forgot it.

    If you can't remember the Settings > General > Restrictions passcode then was it on the iPad when you last backed up ? If not then you can restore to that backup and it should be removed. If it was on the iPad when you last backed up then the only way to remove it is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults and you can then re-sync your content back to the iPad - you won't be able to restore to the backup as that will keep the code in place.
