General Help after attempting to install iOS 6.1 beta 4!

Well my iPod touch 4th gen was having many performance problems while running on iOS 6.1 beta 4, and I restored the device back to 6.0.1. Instead of hitting update when trying to put back iOS 6.1 beta, I hit restore, and as I'm not a developer, I am now stuck with the error message "This device is not registered as part of the Apple Developer Program."

I read that you can DFU restore to get back to normal, but there's one problem with that - my iPod's home button is broken and will not recognize any presses. Is there a way I can force my iPod into DFU mode even with the broken home button?:mad:

How did you install the beta without being in the dev program?

You can install it by hitting Shift > Update on iTunes with the beta IPSW.

Where I am at now though, I cannot do the Shift > Restore, as it just shows up the message saying my device isn't registered. I can't go into DFU mode because my iPod touch's home button is broken. Is there anything I can do from here?
 
I thought a dev account was required for installing these betas...I heard people get completely stuck while doing this without a dev account.
 
The only way I can see is register as a developer or register your device with a developer to test their "software" that is your only option as you can't restore
