So you can’t get into your iPod Nano because you forgot the password you set to lock the screen? Well, unfortunately you will need to Restore the software. Doing so will clear all content off of it. Here’s how.
1. Attach your iPod Nano to the computer.
2. Open iTunes, select the iPod Nano on the left side.
3. Click the Summary tab.
4. Click Restore and follow the instructions to complete the restore process.

i just plugged my nano in and the menu screen came up on the ipod…didnt lose anything i dont think (yet)!

OMG! thankyou so much i thought i would have to send it away!!! it doest matter if it erases all you songs on your IPOD coz you just have to sync it again.
Will iterase my songs
i want to put a password on my ipod but it says i have to know the old one to put in a new one even though i never set one so i need to know the password that i guess the ipod came with.. or the password that i set a while ago. does anyone know a number password to use that will let me set a new one?
and after that does it give me my password or do i have to erase everything it had………
I actually CAN open the screen but its just the screen lock thing , when i put the volume limit on too much. the volumes all low now and i can’t get it to go any louder because i forgot the password .
WOW! That was good advice. Like magic… Thanks so much.
Muchisimas gracias por la ayuda, un abrazo desde Jalapa Veracruz México.
