My ipod is locked. I have forgotten my password. How can I unlock it?
I have forgotten my password. Have tried combinations and now my ipod is locked.
How can I unlock my Ipod?
You do not have to restore as new. You can restore fom backup since the screen-lock passcode isnot in the backup. ALso, if iTunes asks for the passcode andyu can't enter the passcode place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

You can't unless you have a backup on your computer or iCloud.. If you have important files on your iPad, you should always make frequent backups.

‘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 canceling 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.

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.

HT1349 i have forgotten my password. how can i retrieve it or reset it?
have forgotten password. hint is old and doesn't work. can't retrieve serial number either. any ideas?
(1) What to do about a forgotten password depends on what kind of password you have forgotten. Some Apple passwords are not recoverable.
Click this link for Apple Support articles search for "forgotten password". Then use the help (if any) in the article related to the type of password you mean.
(2) How to find Apple serial numbers depends on the item.
Click this link for Apple Support articles search for "how to find serial number". Then use the help related to the item you mean.
(3) You might want to correct the MacBook, iOS 6.1.3 "Product" information
on your Profile Page.
All MacBooks use a version of Mac OS X operating system. No iOS software is runs any MacBook.
iOS 6.1.3 is an operating system that can only be used on iPhones, iPads, and iPods.
