Can I get some help, please?

[rzr]

I've this iPod that I bought from my friend, but I don't know the passcode. Every time I try something it locks itself for 60 minutes. It's an 8g iPod Touch. I really need help, I just can't figure anything out.

LOL.
Brb, looking up something that might help.

EDIT: ok. Try plugging it into itunes and see what you can do from there. If nothing at that point works, restart the whole ipod.

Ask your friend...

Yeah, thats pretty obvious. Ask your friend for the passcode...

Re: Can I get some help, please?

He doesn't know it. Don't you think I've asked?

Oh, and after 10 failed attempts it will erase all data on the iPod. Hopefully he didn't have that enabled.

Restore the thing using Itunes.

Try my advice and tell me if it works.

Re: Can I get some help, please?

How? I mean, I don't have iTunes myself. I think he may have stolen it. Is there a way to reset it from my laptop?

Re: Can I get some help, please?

It's iTunes. It's a free download from Apple. Download it and try using the restore feature, although if it is already synced with another computer you might be out of luck.

I belive it is.

Re: Can I get some help, please?

Well download iTunes anyway and try. It probably won't let you move any of the media around but you may still be able to format it.

At least try it.

Give the device back to your friend and have him format it on the computer it is synced with. Or he could try calling up Apple but I have no idea if that would work. I only know this much because I have an iTouch that I use all that time and it is fantastic. fyi.

I only know this much because I spent 5 seconds with google.
Just restart the thing.
In order for us to continue to help you, you will have to tell us what occurs when you attempt each of the ideas we give you. That would be VERY helpful.
