My Brother set the lock code and he forgot it...

We've tried reseting,restoring, restarting but nothing worked.
what should i do?
compaq Windows XP

Try this, connect the iPod to the main computer you use it with (if you use it with more than one, this is the first one it was connected to) and open iTunes. Then disconnect iPod from the computer, it should be unlocked: iPod: How to use the Screen Lock
I'm surprised however that restoring didn't work as it's the last thing recommended by Apple to unlock an iPod. Restoring will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings with iTunes 7

I forget the lock code and now I can not access the iphone. What I can do?

I forget the lock code and now I can not access the iphone. I try to restore it, but ask me to go to iphone settings to which I have no access and I can not download the latest version of iOS to do it.
Thanks!

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the device from the computer to which the device is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

If your device is running iOS 7 and you set up Find My iPhone (iPad/iPod), however, then it has the Activation Lock on it and you'll need to enter in your Apple ID and password to activate the device after restoring:

Place the iPod in Recovery mode and connect to your computer and restore via iTunes.

How can I set the Lock Model and data structure ?

Hi ,
I just have two questions about JE:
1) Is there some method for me to set the lock mode level , such as record lock, page lock and database lock in JE?
2) I learned that there are Btree and Hash,etc , data structures , How can I set the data structure when using JE ?
Thanks in advance !
Chris

I think you're confusing our DB (C-based product) with JE. JE does not have lock mode levels, page locks (it does not have pages), or database locks. JE only has the BTREE method, it does not have the HASH method. For JE, please be sure to reference the JE doc page:

Hello Corinnana,
Yes. Connect the iPod to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode and restore it as a new iPod. See this article for instructions on how to place your iPod in Recovery Mode.

My daughter set the lock code for my second or first generation ipod and i dont know what numbers she pressed. The ipod was loaded on a pc in Texas, and i'm currently in Georgia. I have a laptop, but I dont want to wipe out all my music. HELP!!!

My daughter has interrupted business as usual because she decided to change the passcode on my ipod. This is a first or second generation nano maybe, and it was loaded on a pc in Texas. I dont want to lose the songs that my mom loaded for me because they're irretreivable. Could someone tell me the process to unlock my ipod from my laptop, but reserve my exsisting music?

Try connecting the iPod to the computer your normally sync it with. Then properly eject it. Upon doing so, you may discover that your iPod is unlocked. If it is, make sure to disable the Screen Lock or change the code to something you can remember.
Otherwise, if that doesn't work, your only option at that point is to restore the iPod via iTunes. And yes this will involve wiping all content and settings from the iPod. Afraid there is no other way.

You need to connect to iTunes and restore the iPhone to remove the passcode...then from a recent backup restore the content.

My iPhone has crashed during a sync and now I can't restore from backup as it is asking for password to load the backup yet neither the lock code for the phone or my iTunes Password are working... I have no other password to call upon and need the restore to retrieve info onto my phone, I am a real novice to this...... please help, !!!!

If anyone else is looking for a solution to this same problem, I was able to get it working looking through several older discussions.
The solution was to use the password that I had on my iTunes account the very first time I set up the iPhone about a year ago. I changed my iTunes password about 10 months ago; but apparently, the backups continue to use the password that existed when the phone was first set up.
A couple of troubling things with this are that 1) I didn't apply a password when I did the backup this afternoon so I don't understand why it was required when I did the restore a few hours later. and 2) it makes zero sense why iTunes would not be smart enough to use the current accout password when requiring the password to restore from a backup made with no password.
I thought iTunes and Apple were smarter than that. With so many posts stating exactly the same problem, it is clear that this is bug in the software.
Best,
Craig

IPod Nano 2nd Generation is requesting 4 digit code. I have never set a lock code. What is this and how can I get my Nano running again?

There is no other way to bypass the combintation lock other than to connect the nano to iTunes and restore it to factory settings, erasing all content and settings from the iPod.

You'll have to connect the iPod to your computer and restore it to factory settings in iTunes. Then resync your music etc.
