If you do not know the passcode, you'll need to put the iPod into recovery mode and restore it via iTunes.  See this article for instructions on how to place the iPod into recovery mode.

    You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode now. You can read about it here.

    Or you can follow this.
    Recovery Mode Instructions
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.

    i just bought an ipad 2 and it is lock by apple i am not the original owener. what do i have to do to make it work..

    No, it is not locked by Apple. It is locked but the person that sold you the iPad and only thyer can unlock the device. If you cannot get in touch with them, you will have a totally useless device on your hands. This is what they have to do.

    my old version mac book air does not start up so i tried to reinstall lion but it says its locked. how do i unlock it with out being able to start up the system.

    Could be. The "lock" isn't actually looking for a password.
    WARNING: This will completely erase the ENTIRE hard drive.
    What you would need to do is boot to recovery > disk utility > select the MAIN drive on the left side > partition > change partition layout from CURRENT to 1 PARTITION > ensure on the right side it says Format : Mac OSX Extended (Journaled) then push APPLY.
    Then if it will allow us, close the windows until you see the 4 options popup again and select "Reinstall Mac OS X" select the Mac HD and you should be good to go!

    My Ipod nano says its locked and screens on and it's staying frozen.  I have tried pressing the menu and select button simultaneously and still not reset.  What should I do?

    Right click on the iPod Nano icon.  "Eject" should pop up.  At least that is the way it works on Macs.
