My iPod is disabled for over 22 million minutes

I have an iPod which my son has forgotten his password during the time he lost his iPod. In any event, his brothers all thought it would be cool to Ty and figure it out....but ended up disabling the iPod for over 22 million minutes. Is there some way that we can rest the password or at least reset the iPod back to factory default? He thinks it has the iOS update of at least a 6..... But we are not sure.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
    Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.

  • IPod touch disabled for 23 million minutes and won't connect to iTunes

    So my iPod touch has been dead for a while now. I bought a new charger and when it finally turned on it told me "iPod is disabled try again in 23,000,000 minutes". I've tried recovery mod but when I try connecting my iPod to the computer nothing happens. No message pops up, nothing.

    - Try Recovery mode and then restore a couple of more times.
    - If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
      How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
    - If still not successful an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My brother's iPod was disabled for 23 million minutes then my dad fiddled with it. Now it's stuck in recovery mode and wont connect to my computer or go into DFU mode. How do I fix it?

    It's an iPod touch 4S, white.
    I've tried on various computer types (windows, macs, and even a linux) and nothing. None of the computers even recognized a device being plugged in.
    I know it's not the cable, our other idevices use that one fine (I bought several more to be sure and no luck).
    My dad is at his wits end and I want this insanity to end. Help please.
    It's been locked so long I don't know what iOS it's on.
    Dear god, what did my brother do.

    See what you missed here:
    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    You have to restore and thus erase your iPod. that is how it works.

    To recover it at this point you need to restore it using the computer it was last backed up to. This will remove the passcode.

  • My iPod is locked for 23 million minutes

    I havn't used my iPod Touch Gen 2 in awhile due to lack of interest. Recently I went to turn it on to play an App.  After turning it on, it says, "iPod is disabled, try again in23,008,406 minutes".  I tried to put it in recovery mode and dfu mode, and neither have worked.  It hasn't been synced to a computer, and I can't seem to find a way to put it into a factory reset.

  • My ipod touch has been disabled for 22 million minute. i cant put it into recovery mode because my lock button doesnt work. how do i fix it??? please help

    please help

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
