I found an I pod touch, model A1421 , in parking lot. Its password protected so how do I bypass password and do a total factory reset ? Ive never owned or used anything Apple before, but did just create an I Tunes account because according to most articles I will need to connect to it to do a restore. However, keep getting error messages.
If it is locked to an I-tunes account you CANNOT unlock it. Even if you do a full reset/restore. You will have to log into the ORIGINAL I-tunes account to gain access. It is locked to the digital serial number registered to the original account.

Turn off. Hold home or Volume down depending on generation. While holding home (6th gen or earlier) or vol down (7th or newer) plug into to a computer with iTunes running. It will then enter restore mode. Go to iTunes and follow prompts Might take a couple tries but it works and is Apples method given to users who want to completely reset iPods/iPhones that are locked.
