iPod touch Force restart on iPod?

[sap12690]

How do I restart an iPod touch with a password? I dont know the password and it's never been synced on my Mac before.

It had to have been synced to activate it. If you forgot the password, restarting wont solve anything. You would need to reset and restore.

You will have to restore your device and set it up as a new account. I don't think setting up from a backup will work as the passcode will still be there. You could always try though, it wouldn't hurt.

Plug your device into your computer/laptop and open iTunes (The normal computer you sync with) And then click on your device in the side bar. You should see a box on the screen that says restore. Just tap that box and it will ask you if you are sure you want to restore. Click yes.
