Locked And Confused (Help Please)

[moonwizzard]

Hi

This is my fist post and I really need some help. A friend gave me a itouch ipod but it's locked up and I have no Idea what to do I took a screen shot of the message I get when I plug the Ipod into my computer.

Any help would be great.

You need to unlock the iPod.

It has a password protecting it, just like the message says...get the password, enter it in, and have fun

There's a way to get the password by going to the root of your iPod, then going to iPod_Control after enabling hidden folders and then its in one of those folders, I forget which one though

doesnt ipod_control have a crap load of folders?

Not for the touch GENIUS. Maybe you can do it with SSH...

You should go into disk mode and do a restore if you can't remember your passcode.

if it was actually a friend, then ask him for the code. If you stole it, try what matt98 said

and if it really is your friend's and he forgot the password just tell him to plug it into his computer im pretty sure that unlocks it (it has to be plugged into the owners itunes specifically) if you stole it then you have to do what matt98 said. and moved to ipod touch support this is in the wrong section

I'm pretty sure there isn't a disk mode, rather a DFU mode that you can restore from. look up "ipod touch DFU mode" in youtube. it takes some good timing and coordination to get into the DFU, but eventually u will.
