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.

My daughter used a password to lock her ipod touch and she can't remember it. Is there a way to reset the password. Thank you for any assistance

My daughter used a password to lock her ipod touch and she cannot remember it. How do we unlock her ipod. Any assistance is wonderful

To circumvent an iPod with a forgotten passcode you would need to restore the iPod to factory settings. This will remove the software and data/content from your iPod as well.
To put your iPod/iPhone into recovery mode:
1. Make sure the iPod/iPhone is connected to a computer with iTunes installed on it.
2. Hold down the sleep/wake button(top button) and the home button at the same time until the iPod/iPhone screen goes black then shows the apple logo( usually 10-15 seconds).
3. Once the apple logo appears on the screen, let go of the sleep/wake button and keep holding the home button.
4. The ipod/iphone screen should show an itunes logo and usb cable if you were successful. A dialog box will appear in iTunes that states an iPod/iPhone in recovery mode has been detected if you are successful.
5. Click ok, then click the Restore button
After that you should be up and running in no time!
I hope that this is helpful.

The real point is Kappy gave you a link to a list of video demonstrations of changing the digitizer to show you that what you intend to do can in fact be done. However, not once but TWICE you questiofed what was freely given to you, and you obviously didn't take the time or make any effort to find out if white framed digitizers are available.
The fact of the matter is, white framed digitizers are available, and rather inexpensively I might add.
My post with the outrageous prices was intended to trigger some of your obviously dormant gray matter into some form of activity that might just resemble intelligent human thought and maybe generate a giggle or two.

K1 screen rotation lock problem

To all the experts on the board,
I bought a K1 tablet and played with it for a week. After the system updates, everything works reasonably well except the screen rotation lock. I push the screen lock button down as instructed, but the screen still rotates. Any idea how to fix the problem? Many thanks in advance!

I've had the K1 for over a year now and I have noticed some trends with the rotation lock slider not working correctly.
First off, I want to make clear that when I say the slider isn't working correctly, I mean that even with the Rotation Lock OFF, the screen stays in whatever position it was last in, whether it's portrait or landscape, no matter how much I move or reorient the tablet. The notification for the slider pops up on the screen as if it were working normally switching between locked and unlocked, so it doesn't seem like a hardware issue.
When the rotation lock does stop functioning, a system reset serves to fix the issue for a while. After a few days on standby or with intermittent use, the rotation lock stops working again.
As a side note, applications that are landscape only can force the tablet out of portrait and applications that are portrait only can force the tablet out of landscape, however when the applications close, it's hit or miss if the tablet stays in the new orientation or jumps back to the old one.
Also, I have noticed that the rotation lock never started acting up until after I inserted a microSD card. Can anyone else verify that this trend happened for them as well? What's even stranger is the fact that at first the card wouldn't even mount, but as soon as it was inside the tablet, that's when I noticed the rotation lock wasn't responding. It was a 32GB microSD high capacity, so I chocked it up to the firmware of the tablet not being compatible with such a large sized microSD card. I tried a smaller microSD card andeverything seemed to work fine. The only reason why I went back to the 32GB card is that I happened to try it some time later and the system was able to read it.
I really like the tablet and it's kind of frustrating that there's still not really a good solution to this. Any feedback or help would be appreciated.
Thank you kindly,
MW

Why is there no screen rotation lock?

I understand that how you lock the screen to prevent it from auto rotating has been changed in OS4 but when the iPad goes to sleep the locking of the screen gets turned off and it starts auto rotating again. Anyone know how to lock it until you turn it off yourself. Thanks.
Check again. My screen stays locked even after a shut-down and a reset.

Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

How do I lock my ipod touch if it was stolen

Hi, How do I lock my ipod touch if it was stolen?

You can only remotely lock it IF you had an iCloud account installed and IF you had enabled the "find my iPod" setting for that iCloud account. If that was done before it was stolen, you might be able to log in to your iCloud account in a web browser and lock it. If it is not connected to a wifi data network though, you cannot do anything to it remotely anyway.
Of course, if it was unlocked to begin with, the thief has had full access this whole time, so locking it now might be largely pointless. The thief may also have gone in and simply disabled the "find my iPod" setting, making it untrackable anyway.
Really, the time to apply a passcode lock is BEFORE the device is stolen or lost - after the fact is largely a waste of time. Much the same as locking your house doors after you've been robbed.

I locked my ipod touch, forgot my passcode, how do i unlock it, when i get error code 3194

From this Apple support document: iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect.
