8gb Ipod touch unlock problem

[danewguy]

got a brand new 8gb touch for christmas and out of no where it powers up but the screen wont let me slide to unlock, when I hold the power off button and it asks me to "slide to power off" that doesn't work either ....HELP

Got it

Found that holding the power button and the button on the front of the unit at the same time restarted the touch and its working fine...

 

[pcs are junk]

for future reference, that "button on the front" is called the home button. if you keep going around saying "that button on the front" instead of "home button", expect insults and sarcasm.
