Did you lost your iPod password? Even if you unlocked on iTunes, you would still want to know the password so you can still use the lock feature. Below steps is how to do it, and make it ANY number you want.
- Plug in your iPod.
- Wait for it to load completely.
- Open My Computer (or computer if on Vista). Make sure you can view hidden files and folders.
- Go to iPod_control.
- Go to the folder named Device.
- If your iPod is locked, there will be a file _locked . Rename the file to _unlocked.
- Safely remove your iPod and it will be cleared.
Quick Hack Method (All OS)
- Plug in your iPod and iTunes will open ( or open it youself)
- Select all you songs by clicking ctrl and A. (PC’s: Ctrl and A at the same time. Mac’s: Apple and A at the same time.)
- Right click your songs.
- Click “Get Info”
- Click “Yes”
- Click the “Options” tab
- Check “Volume Adjustment”
- Put the Curser all the way to “+100%”. Select Ok!

I only got to step 4.
If the iPod is locked and the password is locked then it doesn’t load and can not be seen in my computer
does it clear out your whole ipod.?
How can I do this on a Mac?

This didn’t help because although the ipod is unlocked i can’t make a new one without knowing the old one.
i have windows 7 and i couldnt find step 4 on my computer
