TS2771 I don't remember my passcode to get in my ipod

I don't remember my passcode to get in my ipod.

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the iPod from the computer to which the iPod is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPod into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

  • Is there any way to be able to bypass the restrictions passcode. I set it a long time ago and I don't remember the passcode. I have and Ipod 4th gen with software 6.1.3. Please help

    I need help resetting my restrictions passcode.

    you can't, the only way to get rid of the code is to restore the device as new.
    make sure you transfer your photos to a computer before doing so, using: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
    After that: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
    If you're not able to restore the device, this one might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Using that last article will erase everything on the device
    Good luck

  • I don't remember my passcode and can't restore it via find my phone or through iTunes.

    I just recently found my iPad that I haven't used in about a year after getting a Mac. I don't remember the passcode that I had on it so I can't get into it. I went onto iCloud.com and tried to erase everything via find my phone so that I could get into it, but it won't work until the iPad is connected to the internet. Wifi is on, but the iPad isn't connecting. I tried hooking it up to my computer and restoring it to factory settings that way, but it said that I have to turn off find my phone first. So I went back to the iCloud website and removed the iPad from my apple ID thinking this would turn off any find my phone things connected to my iPad. Apparently I was wrong. So now I am locked out from trying whatever pass codes come to mind because I have put the wrong one in too many times, the data won't erase because it's not connected to the internet, and I can't restore it because it is waiting to connect to the internet to erase the data. On top of all that, since it is an older iPad, I can't chat with apple support without paying $29.00. So is there anything else I can try to get this unlocked or do I just have a $300 paperweight?

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
    3. Repeat the process if necessary.

  • HT201263 did the restore as instructed, but the phone still wants a passcode.  Itunes recognizes my phone, but i don't remember the passcode.  Now what?

    I don't remember my passcode.  So, I did the restore as instructed (turned phone off, plugged it into computer w/ home key pressed until iTunes came on).  It asked if I wanted to restore the phone. I clicked yes.  It went through the motions, downloaded whatever, recognized my phone, etc., BUT my phone still asks for a passcode.  Now what?

    Restore as new, not from a backup.

    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
    Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.
