How to soft reset and hard reset your iPod Touch if it’s frozen or not responding.

Try a soft reset first:

1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of the unit until a red slider appears

2. Drag the slider.

3. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

If a soft reset doesn’t work, try a hard reset:

Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for about ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

If your ipod is disabled because you forgot your password. Connect it to your computer make sure you have itunes installed do the reset by holding awake and sleep button with home button at the same time once it resets hold only the home button down until it connects to your itunes and asks you to restore the ipod

What must I do if I forgot my password and my computer I currently use is not the computer my iPod touch is connected to. What happens if I reset it? Does all my songs and pictures fade away? I really don’t know what to do, if someone can help me, I would be very happy!
