yea tryin to restore it through itunes didnt work. it asked for my password which i obviously dont have. is that the only way to fix this problem
restoring it is the only way, it resets the whole ipod, so you couldn't have done it right
right as i plugged it into my pc it asked for me to enter the password on the ipod before i could do anything. the ipod didnt even show up on itunes.
do a recovery mode restore.
home+sleep until apple logo shows again, then release sleep, keep holding down home until the connect to iTunes graphic shows.

even if i did do that isnt it goning to ask me for the password before i can do anything. it says itunes cold not connect with ipod because it is locked with a passcode you must enter the passcode on your ipod before you can access it through itunes.
o i mean i tried its not doing anything. should it be plugged in while doing this and should it be off or on at the password screen
ok
so i did that and the apple screen was up for a really long time then it just took me to the password screen again. it didnt bypass it and go directly to restore.

I actually have no more ideas, you will have to ring up apple support and ask them sorry mate
