iPod Forgot Password on Nano

[2hondas]

Okay...my sister, who is 9 years old, has a current gen iPod nano, 2gb, refurbished, silver. She created a password for it, but being the irresponsible girl she is, she forgot it. Now, she cannot use the iPod.

I have tried resetting it, but it still asks for the password.

and BTW, I DID NOT STEAL THIS IPOD. So don't flame me on this. I got boxes + receipts to prove.

Thanks in advance.

Do a software restore in iTunes

Connect iPod to the primary computer you use it with (the first one iPod synced with), and open iTunes. When you disconnect iPod from the computer, it will no longer be locked.

Geez, then what's the point of a password?

I didn't even know iPods had passwords...

For example, if you lost your iPod on the street, some random person wouldn't be able to listen to your music, see your photos, or view your contacts without the password, or access to your computer.

Oh, I see. I was thinking more along the lines of family members.

Not sure I keep any pictures on my iPod I don't want my family to see
