My sister lost her iPod touch password

Hi,
My sister forgot her iPod Touch's password. We do not have the original computer that syncs the iPod since she only synced it once. Therefore, we cannot restore from a backup... At this point, we don't mind loosing all the data on the iPod, she wants to be able to use it. What can we do!?
Thank you

Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to rest the passcode during this process:
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
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. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

Lost my iPod touch password

What I can do to recover my iPod touch password to unlock

you can try to guess it, but thats it.
You are talking about the "slide to unlock" pass code right? All you can do is guess. You will eventually get locked out of your ipod if you guess it wrong too many times. You cannot restore from backup, because it will have your passcode on it as well.
all you can do is restore as new.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 Make a backup of your pictures
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 Transfer your purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 setting up as new
Turn on iCloud (Settings>iCloud>turn everything on you want saved)
After you restore as new, you can sync all your apps and music back over. make sure you write down the icloud account you are signed in to (some people have multiple accounts)
By the way if you do get locked out, look at the following article.

Lost Ipod Touch password, no backup, please help

My daughter forgot her ipod touch password. She has never backed it up on itunes before. She has a lot of games and tunes that she purchased. Is there a way to recover that password without losing the downloads? Any help is appreciated!

Hi debs2014,
You will have to place your daughter's iPod Touch into recovery mode to restore the device to default factory settings.
There is no other way to recover a lost password, but to place the device in recovery mode then restore.
Here's the article for placing the device in recovery mode:

If your daughter purchased apps and music from itunes she can re-download from the itunes and apps store apps on her device by tapping the icons on home screen, then signing in with apple id and password.
Here an article that can help you re-download past purchases:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
If your daughter didn't purchase the apps and tunes from the itunes or apps stores, then she will have to re-download or re-purchase the items from where she purchased the apps and tunes initially.
Hope this helps.
Let me know.

Connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore via iTunes. If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcode or yu do not have the syncing computer, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

My sister passed away two months ago. I have her Ipod touch. Can I put her music from her Ipod touch into my Itunes library on my computer and how?

- Unless you also have the originals of the music (CDs), you do not have right to the music.
- If they were purchased in iTunes and you can transfer them by the following. You must know and have control of the iTunes account and password.

When I do connect to itunes, the device is not recognized and then a message comes on the screen that says it is locked and to enter the password to access it. I cannot access the password and since itunes does not recognize the device, it does not come up on the list on the left, i cannot reset it. What do I need to do so she can use her ipod touch again?

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
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
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.
