My 10 year old daughter has been saving for an MP3 player for a long time. She finally built up a tidy fund to purchase what she wanted. She ended up buying an IPod Touch for over $200! I tried to talk her out of it but her Mom would NOT let me override her decision. Well, she's had it for a couple of months now and she's already managed to password protect herself out. Now she has a $200+ paper weight on the coffee table. I searched the web for ways to bypass and none of it works. Does ANYBODY out there have a way for me to reset this password? I'm using a laptop with Windows Vista (UGH).
Actually just tell her that no one her age needs highest security. If she wants to keep snoopers out, the name of her dog, her phone number, your street address are all "good enough".
Start Itunes. Plug iPod in. Reset to factory defaults. Select what music you want synced (ie configure in iTunes) and re-sync. And Boom! iPod all fixed
I think the passcode on an iPod is a four digit number.
If none of the iTunes based stuff will work, try using one of the Winamp iPod plugins. You can do a factory restore from those as well. I’ve occasionally managed to corrupt my Shuffle badly enough to require a nuke and pave.
