how do you unlock an Ipod that is disabled?

If the iPod is showing the 'disabled' screen due to too many failed passcode attempts then you will need to connect the iPod to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPod and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPod into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If you do it via a different computer then :
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.

    This is the same thing:

    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 turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
    Just what do you not understand?

  • TS1382 How do you unlock an Ipod? It's our old Ipod and we forgot the number.

    How do you unlock and Ipod?

    Assuming the computer is a PC, see the following to get the iPod to appear in iTunes.
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    One you get iTunes t see the iPod, place the iPod n recovery mode and then restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Since it is not your syncing computer, there is not way to prevent erasing your iPod and starting anew.  When you get back to your syncing computer, restore the iPod from the backup on that computer.

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
