Why is my ipod touch locked for 21,854,788 minutes?

my friend was screwing around with my ipod touch and locked it for 15 minutes, or so he said. but then my ipod died and when i charged it it told me it would be unlocked after the time stated in the title, wich after doing the math equells out to around 40 years (if i did my math right and i think i did) but i just recently got around to trying to reset it but that has not worked either so what should i do? go to the apple store to get it fixed or smash this thing and buy a new one?

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS- Understanding passcodes
A Complete Guide to Recover Your iDevice if You Forget Your Passcode
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.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
Placing your device into recovery mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
     1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
         of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
     2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the
         red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
          If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons.
     3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
         The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
         charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
         start with step 2 again.
     4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
         When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
     5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
     6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

Why is my iPod Touch asking for a password I don't have?

My iPod Touch has been working fine for two years and I was using it last night. This morning, when I turned on my iPod Touch, it asked for a password. It didn't show the regular 10-digit number pad, it came up with a pad that showed the letters and numbers, the one you would find when you search for stuff on an iPod Touch.
My password setting is off and hasn't been tinkered with for over a year. No one but me had used the iPod Touch for the past few days. I have tried all the passwords I could think of and now I'm disabled from my iPod Touch, haha... ughh.
How can I get this fixed without taking a trip to the Apple store or restoring it?

Sometimes the iDevices just go haywire and ask for a password out of nowhere. Or, could have somebody got hold of your iPod and set it up and entered a password?

Why is my Ipod Touch no longer recognised by my computer. I have Vista

Why is my Ipod touch no longer recognised by my computer? please.

See:

I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears.

IPod touch locking up

So I have an iPod touch 2G, and about a month ago, I was running iPhone OS 3.0, and the battery stayed at 20% for 2 days. I was surfing Macrumors on it and it went blank. Like when you shut a computer off by cutting the power, the image stays on the screen and then fades away, that happened on my touch. So I get about a day in standby now, and will most likely need a new battery right?
But I also have another BIG issue. When this all happened, sometimes after leaving my iPod touch alone for 5 min and it's in sleep, the sleep/wake button and home button won't wake it up. I then have to do a hard reset on it to get it working only for it to do it again. So when iPhone OS 3.3.1 came out, I did a DFU restore and update to 3.1.1, and set it up as a new iPod. I have no Apps installed and the issue keeps happening, but more and more often. I had to reset it 7 times today. Last evening I, plugged it in at 6:30 PP and it was finished charging at 8:45PM, so I unplugged it and then woke up at 1:00 AM and had to do a hard reset on it to wake it up, it was cold and not hot, but I had 20% battery remaining. I plugged it back in and was fine today (beside reseting it) Also a issue in the 3.1. FW or my iPod, is that when I type on the keyboard, sometimes it get stuck at a letter and freezes. Other time it locks up when launching/quitting an App or even browsing my 2 home-screens.
I deleted the .ipsw and re-downloaded it and did another DFU mode restore+ setting it up as a new iPod and no luck.
So What is wrong with my iPod beside the bad battery?

I am having the same problem, but with a 1G iPod touch: I have to do a reset in order to wake it up, several times a day which is pretty annoying when you just want to look up something quickly and then have to wait for it restart.
Like ouimetnick I am also experiencing low battery performance, often going from full to 20% within half hour of use. (Looks like I'd need a new battery, too.) Could this be the underlying issue?
I doesn't seem to happen when the iPod is plugged in, but leaving it plugged in to use it is certainly not a long term solution...
Before I go out and cough up the money for a new battery, I like to know if this would really fix my issues. Any ideas?
