what's happening youtubers I'm bringing
you a video today showing you how you
can reset the password on your iPod
touch if you've been unfortunate enough
to misplace it or lose it or whatever
reason you need to reset the password
now one thing I will say straight off
the bat is when we do this reset
procedure it will wipe all the contents
of your iPod so if you have photos music
you know whatever else please consider
that there's no going back once it's
reset it's reset so you know you have
been warned
so what we need to do to to make this
happen is obviously have an iPod have
the USB cable connected to the computer
like so have a laptop or computer
whatever you're using I'm on Windows 7
use iTunes and be signed into iTunes and
have a connection to the Internet so
we've all that in place first thing to
do is actually turn off the iPod so
let's just do that hold the power button
down slide to power off there we go
next thing is to basically let me let me
just do it as I say it plug the cable in
this will be easier for you because I'm
trying to do this with a phone in my
other hand but we want to hold down the
home button before you press in the USB
cable or the Apple cable so I'm going to
just position this come on hold down the
home button cables in alright we get the
initial Apple logo then you can see the
USB cable pointing towards the iTunes
logo okay this basically means it's
going into recovery mode now if we go
across to iTunes you can see on the
screen it says here iTunes has detected
an iPod in recovery mode you must
restore this live pod before it can be
used of iTunes so here you say okay all
right now give some details of the iPod
etc and what we're looking for is the
restore button see click restore
all right now you can see it says
contacting for iPod software update
server okay are you sure you want to
restore the iPod iPod to its factory
settings all you mean do another detail
data will be erased and the newest
version of your iPod software will be
installed so read the rest about and if
you're happy just click restore and
update okay now you can see at the top
it says extracting software that's gonna
go along and do its thing so you know
what I'm gonna pause and come back okay
guys the extracting software just
finished now I just want to show you the
next stage which is verifying iPod
restore with Apple so I'm gonna pause
that I'll be back when the next piece
work Oh in fact I'm gonna stay prepare
an iPod for restore the iPod itself just
flashed the logo just disappeared and
now I have an Apple sign on the iPod so
let's just see what happens next you
heard that beep it's reconnecting we
look on your iPod and you can see it's
going to load
waiting for the output
I'm going to pause here okay guys it's
still going you have to be patient in
this bit you can see the bar has moved
along and on the screen is restore Napa
software that bars moving along nicely
so you know I'm gonna save time pause
again okay it's just very fine I pass
off to at the moment as you can see on
the Apple itself on the iPod itself it's
moving along a good pace now go find
