My friend put a password on my ipod and i cant get in how can i take it off?

My friend put a password on my Ipod and I dont want to restore it but want the password off. He wont tell me what he put it as and has probly forgot by now. I am wondering how to take it off. I am running an I touch software Ver 4.2.1. I can get anywhere on it and know my way around my apple products well but cant seem to find out what to do on this problem. Please help.

If you were able to remove a pascode - what good would using a passcode do? None - that's what good it would do. You cannot remove a forgotten passcode.
You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad/iPod.
I assume that the concept is the same on the 2nd gen iPod.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
This will tell you how to restore
iTunes: Backing up, updating or restoring iOS software
If you cannot restore that way, you may have to use recovery mode
iPad: Unable to update or restore

Restore your phone from your most recent backup on the last computer the phone synced with, this will remove the passcode.

I was given an iPhone 4 from a friend and I was trying to reset it to factory settings but it won't let me. It's keeps popping up with a box to put in my friends iCloud account password in but I don't know it. How can i delete their iCloud account?

You cannot delete the iCloud account that is signed on to Find My iPhone unless you know the password. This is called the Activation Lock:
ACTIVATION LOCK
It is an anti-theft security measure that is a part of iOS 7. You can only get around this by following the steps in this support article:
Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
Contact your friend. This is the only way around the lock.
Best of luck,

You have to make the changes you want in the folders on your computer, then sync your new choices via iTunes. iPhone, iPad and iPod touch: Syncing photos via iTunes, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

Hi Beth, welcome to the discussions!
Might be a good idea to also post over in the iPhoto forum if you haven't tried this yet as this is a common topic on their boards.
You may be able to get your iPhoto library back by rebuilding it. I've done it, but's it's been a long time, so don't want to mislead you on anything. The guys over in the iPhoto forum are real experts and should have some fixes for you.

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to Restore your device...

I bought a used 160GB ipod and I cant get my computer to read it. What do I need to do?

I bought a used 160GB ipod and I cant get my computer to read it. What do I need to do?

Is your iTunes running the latest version? If not, but the iPod you've bought has been set up to work with the latest version, then iTunes probably will not recognise it.
In iTunes, select Help/Check for updates. If there is a newer version, make sure you are running that before connecting the iPod again.
If that isn't the problem - or more to the point - it doesn't fix the problem, post here again so that anyone watching it can suggest the next step.

From this Apple support document: iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the headingBlocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
Error 3194: Resolve error 3194 by updating to the latest version of iTunes. "This device is not eligible for the requested build" in the updater logs confirms this is the root of the issue. For more Error 3194 steps see: This device is not eligible for the requested build above.

HT201401 My little brother has changed my password on my phone, and i cant get on to it.. how to i wipe my phone to start again with out a password?

Need to find out how to wipe my phone so that i can get onto it as my brother changed my password and i cant get onto my phone what so ever.

Then you'll have to force the phone into recovery mode and restore it. Turn your phone off:
Then, leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
