Restore game data if iPod is restored due to forgotten passcode?

It's amazing how many posts/discussions there are about lost/forgotten passcodes. Apple really needs to do something about how to fix this other than completing wiping out the ipod. Totally ridiculous.
We set a restrictions passcode on my son's ipod, but it somehow magically changed at some point. We ended up having to restore and then re-sync apps, etc. in order to reset the restrictions passcode. A restore of a previous backup doesn't work since the passcode is part of the backup.
Since we couldn't 'restore' from previous backup, we had to re-sync all the games back after the touch was setup as a 'new' device, but they all ended up going back on the touch as if they were newly installed - all game data lost. Is there a way to get it back since I cannot restore? Is there a way to prevent this?
When I updated all 3 of our iPods to IOS 5.01, it also wiped out the ipods, but we were able to sync the apps/games back and keep the progress data. I'm confused as to what the difference is and if I could have avoided this.
Thanks!

Compare what you did to this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nANBANgD40Q.
This will place it in DFU mode and allow you to restore it.

HI....Need help to enable my3G iPhone which has been disabled due to forgotten passcode.Thank you

If you forgot your passcode, restore the phone on the last computer it was synced with. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode and restore as a new device. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.

Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

Can configure your device to erase itself after ten consecutive incorrect password attempts. This setting is off by default. Can be turned on if you can't unlock the screen due to forgotten passcode?

Can you still configure your device to erase itself after ten consecutive incorrect password attempts if you can't unlock the screen due to forgotten passcode?

No.

Will game data erase if I restore my iPod?

My iPod's been acting up so I'm going to restore it, but, if I do, will I have to start over on all the 6 purchased games I own?
20" iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9) iLife '06, Microsoft Office 2004, and I'm single! (hey, it says other details..)

Sadly, yes, all of your game data is erased when you restore your iPod. You will have to go back through the process just when you first put it on your iPod.

HT4623 when you restore games from your iPod touch that are backed up to the cloud, does it restore your game play history as it was at the last backup?

grandson loaded up the iPad touch we gifted him. iTunes (he uses a PC at home) says to restore factory settings. we understand that will wipe data from iPod touch - but we did confirm his "Minecraft" app and a half-dozen others were backed up as recently as 1 pm today. If we restore to factory settings, then "restore" his iPod from the iCloud back up, can anyone confirm his "gameplay" will also be restored as of the last backup? Not a gamer, never had this concern... I know his Purchased Apps are still on iTunes, but he's panicked about losing his minecraft "score."

Yes it you restore from iCloud backup game status will also be restore provided that the app is still avaialbe form the App store.

HT1212 my daughters ipod touch is locked. Forgotten passcode. How do I reset?

I dont think she has uploaded anything from our computer. Will not sync Message doesnt appear to restore?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
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.
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.

Restoring game data

On a game ap I accidentally pushed the icould button and it restored the ap and stared the whole game information. How can I restore my game info

You probably can't if the app is syncing data with iCloud. If it isn't, you may be able to recover your game progress by restoring your last backup. You would have to ask the app developer if the app data is synced with iCloud, and if so, if it can be recovered.

Help on restoring calendars data in iPod touch

I got frustrated with the iffy quality of mobile me sync and calendars. I turned it off for a while. Now I just downloaded BusyCal and was hoping to get it working again. However, it erased my mobil data with the wrong info from my computer.
I have tried using Time Machine to restore my iPod data. The iPod was connected to iTunes. Then I went into Time Machine and got an older backup and replaced it. But then "restore from backup" won't show once I do that.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, Audg!
I'm actually kinda confused, I know that on for example, the iPhone 3GS, it should ask for you to download an older version. As seen in the following screenshot:
Did you see this at all? This should of happened in the proccess in the install. Try to install it again, see what happens.

Restore Game Data?

Is there any way to restore my progress in a game if I have to delete and re-install it? I'm looking to Re-Install Angry Birds and have a Game Center and Crystal account but want to know for sure if I can restore my progress or not?

It depends on the app. If the app stores it's data on the iPhone, then it will be gone once you delete it (unless you restore the entire phone from iTunes with the last good backup containing that data). If the app stores it's data on a web server someplace, then erasing the app will not affect your progress.
It may be better to check on that app's website before deleting to see what they recommend.
