When I was 10, I think I had a bike and Sega Genesis.

Try Swordmaker and see if he has any answers to that, or perhaps one of those on his ping list, perhaps.

But, I suppose your daughter got it at an Apple Store. Whether you did or not, they’ve got great service there, so just walk in, or (if you want) set yourself up an appointment and let one of the “geniuses” there take care of it for her.

I see you have a daughter who knows to buy quality products, so that’s one good thing. The only other thing she needs to do is remember her password, next time... :-)

When I was 10, I had a Philco AM radio, an Underwood manual typewriter, and a wide skirt with a fluffy petticoat to go underneath. I also still played with dolls. I’m sort of dating myself.

You will need to plug your daughter's iPod Touch into the ORIGINAL computer she used when it was first set up. While it's plugged in press both the on/off switch and the Home button for about 10 seconds. Release the On/Off button but keep holding the Home button until iTunes notifies you that it has detected an iPod in "recovery mode." This will force the iPod into a reset mode and allow you to first reset the iPod to a blank as released from Apple condition and then restore your settings, files, and tunes from the backup onto it. If you no longer have that original computer available, then you can still reset the iPod touch back to factory blank... but you will have to reinstall all the music, set the settings, and install apps etc., by hand. you can't do if from a back-up. Once you have done that, re-synch the iPod and all will be well.

Tell your daughter to WRITE down the passcode the next time, or don't use one.

The Apple Store Genius Bar can help you reset it back to factory blank... but they will not be able to restore her stuff. That has to come off of the original computer.

btw the iPod Touch is the coolest device I have ever owned

In addition, if she's just had it a couple of months, her iPod touch is still under the one year warranty. If you can't get to an Apple Store, you can arrange for Apple to call YOU for free and help step you through the restoration procedure.

Start here with Apple Support.

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

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.
