How do I reset my ipod touch 1st gen's password?

Question

My daughter set a password on it and now does not remember it, how can I remove/reset the password?

The software version is 3.1.3.

Answer 1

Found it and putting it here for reference, simply hold the home and power button down for 10 seconds (ignoring the power off slider when it comes up) then keep the home button pressed down and release the power button. This needs to be done while connected to iTunes. At that point iTunes will offer to restore it.

Answer 2

I have an iPhone, not the touch, but it is probably similar...

You should be able to restore it to factory settings (including no password, removing all data though) from iTunes.

Plugging the iPhone into my computer and opening up iTunes, if I click on the iPhone in the left column of iTunes, there's a Restore button shown in the Summary tab. As far as I'm aware, this will remove your passcode lock when it restores the phone (and wipes all data on it). You could also restore from a specific backup if you know what the passcode was at the time of that specific backup (assuming you've got backups enabled in iTunes).

Answer 3

If you don't have iTunes on your computer they will do it for you in the apple store.
