How to unlock a disabled ipod
UPDATED! PASSWORD RESET AND REMOVE/RESET ANY DISABLED or LOCKED iPhone, iPod, or iPAD!
hey guys crazy Tech dad here I have a
disabled ipod touch that belongs to one
of my boys you can see that has been
disabled for over 24 million minutes and
that's roughly 42 years I don't think he
wants to wait that long for this to be
working again so I'm going to show you
how to restore this ipod touch to its
original factory settings it will delete
everything is on the iPod and if you do
not have a backup copy already stored on
itunes then you're going to lose
everything this trick will work with any
generation of ipod touch and iphone as
you can see it's disabled and it will no
me put a password back in for more than
42 years so what you need to do for this
to work you need to have iTunes
installed on your computer you need to
have a USB connection for the iPod or
iPhone and just follow these simple
steps so go ahead and connect your iPod
to your computer and you're going to see
that you get an error message on your
itunes that says that you have to enter
the password into the ipod in order for
it to work with itunes however we can't
do that so what we're going to do is go
ahead and show you how to restore it so
what you're going to want to do is
you're going to reboot this in DFU mode
I'm going to go ahead and cancel this
little message over here on the itunes
so that way you can see the new message
when it comes up to reboot in DFU mode
which is device firmware upgrade you're
going to hold down the home button which
is up here and the homes I'm sorry the
power button which is up here and the
home screen button down here until the
screen goes black and then you're going
to release the power button continuing
to hold down the home button until you
get a message on the iTunes so screens
on will shave it to screen so on I'm
going to hold them both down until the
screen goes black so I've got the power
button held down and the home button
screen went black I'm going to go ahead
and release the power button and I'm
still holding on to the
home screen button and here in a second
you'll see a message pop up on your
iTunes and when that does you can go
ahead and release the home screen button
so now you can see that I have a message
on the iTunes it says it's detect
detected an iPod the recovery mode you
must restore the iPod before it can be
used with I will go ahead and hit OK and
then I'm gonna hit restore iPod and it's
telling me that it's going to restore
the iPod to its factory settings all
mita and other data will be erased in
the newest version the iPod software
will be installed and you go ahead and
go ahead and do that if we store an
update go ahead and accept the software
upgrade update agreement and then now
you just have to wait for the update to
download from the internet and restore
your iPod you don't want to disconnect
the iPod from the computer just leave it
connected actually just don't even kind
of mess with it just leave it alone
because you may interrupt the process
doesn't look like anything's going on on
the screen so you might want to shut
down itunes or unplug it because you
think something's not happening but if
you look up here in the corner no maybe
a little hard to see there you go a
little download arrow is circulating
meaning that the software is updating if
you click on it it's going to show you
that the iPod software update is
downloading and it has however many
minutes remaining on this one it says we
have 25 minutes remaining so when this
comes done I'll come back and show you
how to fix the rest of it okay we're
back the update is almost completed on
the iPod is getting ready to reboot here
and iTunes itself is telling us that
welcome to our new iPod and we can
either restore this from a backup which
we do not have or set up as a new iPod
which will end up daily
my son does have an I Tunes account so
hopefully he'll be able to restore all
of his apps that he had purchased I'm
using his iTunes cards so there it is
the iPod is brand-new set up ready to go
and we'll go ahead and do the restore
from here so I hope you enjoyed the
