My brother gave me his ipod and he forgot the password what can i do to restore the ipod?

Is there a way to reset the password?

Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten password:
Restore (and reset password) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)

    Launch iTunes on your computer, plug the phone in & on the "Summary Pane", select "Restore". This will restore the phone to factory settings with all of your son's stuff gone. You can now use it as an iPod touch. To do this REQUIRES the deactivated sim card be still installed in the phone.

  • I need to change my account information so my devices will sync together but i can log onto my old itunes account because i dont have that email and forgot that password, what can i do?

    i need to change my account information so my devices will sync together, however i do not have my email my ipod account is linked to and i dont remeber the password. In short i need to remove my ipod from my old itunes account but i cant log on to that old account. What can i do?

    You'll need to reset the password that account then before you can transfer these purchases to your iTunes library and your iPhone.

    If that doesn't work, you'll need to contact Apple support directly by phone and have them walk you through resetting the account information.

  • TS1398 After the 6.0.1. update on my iPhone 4s the option for wifi has greyed out and cannot be selected. What can I do to restore wifi?

    I have held off updated my iPhone 4s with the 6.0.1 but having problems connecting to wifi I thought maybe being out of date was the problem.
    Having done the update the wifi option is now greyed out and cannot be selected at all.  I have rebooted, forgotten networks and turned on and off so many times.  There is nothing wrong with the wifi at home as other devices connect no problem.  What can I do?

    I'll repeat the Apple support pages linked in the previous post:

    Go through the step outlines there starting at the top and work down until you've solved the problem.

  • When i open the ipad,it said i need to put my hotmail password and then can go in. But i forgot my password,what can i do to open my ipad.

    Yesterday I was open my ipad then the screen is showing i need to put my hotmail password in. But i forgot my hotmail password. and i go back to reset my hotmail password but i can not reset it. Because i just use my hotmail account to play my ipad. I did not use the hotmail acc to sent the email. That why i dont know the answer.EX; what was the subject line of some of the email message you were send?name some of the folders you are created.  Now my ipad is look like it lock it. can not play it. what can i do now ? please help me><

    You can only import photos from the camera roll into the computer. Is that the album that you are seeing?
    Any albums that you create on the device itself (the iPad that is) cannot be transferred to your computer. iPad created albums do not contain copies of your photos but merely pointers to those photos so they do not actually exist in those albums.

  • If your phone is says its diabled and u forgot your password what do u do

    If your phone says its disabled and your passowrd doesnt work what do u do?? it says connect to i tunes but it still is locked?

    If indeed you have lost your password and the phone has not malfunctioned,  this is a slightly different story - and yes you will lose everything.  Yet iTunes/App Store purchases can be downloaded again.
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, leave the other end connected to your Mac/PC
    Launch iTunes
    Press and hold the Home and Power button on the top of the iPhone to turn off the device
    Press and continue to hold the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to your iPhone, this will cause the iPhone to turn on
    Continue to hold the Home button until an alert message in iTunes appears that an iPhone in recovery mode has been detected
    Now that the iPhone is in recovery mode, you must restore the device:  From iTunes, look under the “Summary” tab Click on the “Restore” button within iTunes This will wipe all files, settings, and apps from the iPhone, including the passcode. When the restore is finished, the iPhone will be at the factory settings.
    As for your other question regarding backing up your iPhone in the future.  Here is more on that:

  • I have two screens on my Apple Mac and could extend work across both. Now updated to Mavericks and cannot do this. What can be done to restore my original functionality?

    I have two screens on my Apple Mac and could extend work across both. Now updated to Mavericks and this no longer works. How could I restore the previous functionality? Is somethong wrong?

    Hi Eustace.
    Thanks for replying to my problem. After posting I noted the "More Like This" box on the right of the screen. The top topic was "Restore old dual screen functionality" and turned out to be the the same question with a surprising answer - in the "Mission Control" dialogue, NOT the "Displays" dialogue. There are five tick boxes at the top of the Mission Control screen and the last of them is "Displays have separate spaces" and this box was ticked through the loading of the Mavericks op. system (presumably). Unticking this box, as advised, restored the 'extended' mode and all is now well.
    We live and learn!

  • I can't reset my security question and I forgot it. What can I do?

    For some reason I have to put in my security answers but I forgot it and it won't let reset it either so I don't know what to do. Please help.

    If you only have one security question, or if you have multiple questions and you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account, then you should be able to reset it/them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
    If you can't (you won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer your questions) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
    Or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

    my brother gave me his old ipod, how can I upload my some form my shuffle

    You want to first connect your shuffle to your computer and transfer all of your downloads from there to your iTunes.
    Then you want to connect your new one to the computer. Click on the device when it pops up in your iTunes, and select the music tab.
    Then you can sync all of the music you want!
