This post is for if you can't unlock yoir iDevice or sync with iTunes, DO NOT USE THIS FOR HACKING PURRPOSES!!!!!

Step 1: put your iDevice in DFU mode, to put your iDevice in DFU mode you must first turn off your iDevice, to do this hold down the lock/sleep button then press power off, you must then put your iDevice in DFU mode by making shure your iDevice is pluged into your computer and that iTuned is running then hold down the lock/sleep button for three seconds, after that hold the home buttom for fifteen seconds but DO NOT RELEASE THE SLEEP/LOCK BUTTON, then realese ONLY the sleep/wake button and hold the home button until iTunes recognises your iDevice in recovery mode even though your iDevice is still in DFU mode.

Step 2 restore your iDevice: click restore and follow any onscreen prompts

If you are struggling to put your iDevice in DFU mode please watch this video here:How To: iPhone DFU Mode - MacComm.tv this also works on iPad and iPod Touch hope it helps:)
