If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to Restore your device...
Connect the Device to iTunes... open iTunes, click on the Device tab that appears in the Left side column of iTunes, Select your Device, then go to the Summary Page and click Restore.
If necessary Place the Device into Recovery mode..

The same way it was done in every previous version.
Connect the device to the computer.
Right click on the device in iTunes and select Transfer Purchases.
Why would you lose any content by syncing with iTunes?
Is this not the computer that the device is normally synced with?

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.

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 most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT201263 Ok so that answers my question how to restore her phone and I realize she will lose all information, which is fine..but what if the sleep/wake button doesn't work?

So I have the directions to restore her old phone and realize her info will be lost..ok..but how can I restore it if her sleep/wake button is not working?

You can back up your phone to itunes on the computer before restoring so that data wont be lost. Once the phone if saftely backed up you click on the "iphone" section to find her phone details. There is a button that says "restore". CLick on it and the phone will restore

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Where can I view a full list of games to buy for the iPod Touch?

When I go to the iPod Touch section of this web site and click on "Games and Apps", it only shows 16 games. I assume there are more than 16 games available for the iPod Touch, so where do I go to view a full list of games and buy the ones I want?
Also, do all of the games for the iPhone also work for the iPod Touch?

Hello GAMESHARQ,
so where do I go to view a full list of games and buy the ones I want?
Through the iTunes Store, which can be accessed via iTunes. Just click on the App button at the top of the Store window to access the Apps section. From there, you can choose the Games category to narrow it down.
Also, do all of the games for the iPhone also work for the iPod Touch?
Depends on the game. You will have to check out the Requirements section of each Game or App to determine if its compatible with an iPod Touch and iPhone.
