iPod will lock completely if disabled. The only way you can use it again is to restore your iPod using iTunes or iCloud. If you have a backup, you will be able to restore your data, but this process will erase all the content stored on the iPod. Other than that, there is no other way to unlock a disabled iPod.
Steps
By iTunes
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2f/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-1-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Unlock-a- Disabled-iPod-Step-1-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/2f/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-1- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-1-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Connect iPod to computer. If the iPod is disabled, the only way to unlock it is to erase it and reinstall it. If you have a backup, you can restore it, otherwise you will lose all your data. There is no way to unlock a disabled iPod unless you enter the correct passcode or erase the data on the device. [1] X Research Source
- If you don’t have a computer with iTunes, see the next section for instructions on how to reset your iPod on the iCloud website.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f6/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-2-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Unlock-a- Disabled-iPod-Step-2-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f6/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-2- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-2-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Open iTunes and select iPod. Your iPod will show the top of the screen.
- If you’re asked for a passcode after connecting your iPod to your computer, or you’ve never synced your iPod with iTunes on your computer before, see Using Recovery Mode below.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/05/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-3-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Unlock-a- Disabled-iPod-Step-3-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/05/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-3- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-3-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Click “Back Up Now” to create a backup of your iPod. This will allow you to restore your data after reinstalling your iPod.
- You need to make sure that “This Computer” is selected to create a complete local backup.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e5/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Unlock-a- Disabled-iPod-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e5/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-4- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Click “Restore iPod” to begin the reset process. This process usually takes a few minutes to complete. After that, you’ll go through the initial iPod setup process.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/73/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Unlock-a- Disabled-iPod-Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/73/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-5- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Select “Restore from iTunes backup” during setup. The backup you created will be loaded and restored to all iPod data.
On the iCloud website
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a8/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-6-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Unlock-a- Disabled-iPod-Step-6-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a8/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-6- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-6-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use this method if you do not have computer access. You can reset your iPod through the Find My iPhone website, as long as the iPod is registered with your Apple ID and Find My iPod is turned on in the iCloud menu. This only works if the iPod is connected to Wi-Fi.
- Because the process is done remotely, you won’t be able to create a new backup. This means that all data on your iPod will be lost, but you can reload any backups you’ve made previously.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9a/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Unlock-a- Disabled-iPod-Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9a/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-7- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Access . icloud.com/find on another computer or device. You can use a web browser on any computer or device, or with the Find My iPhone app on another iOS device.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a8/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Unlock-a- Disabled-iPod-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a8/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-8- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Sign in with your Apple ID. You’ll need to make sure you’re signed in to the same Apple ID account associated with your iPod.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/94/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Unlock-a- Disabled-iPod-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/94/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-9- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Click the “All Devices” button at the top of the window. All Apple devices connected to your Apple ID will appear.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/36/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Unlock-a- Disabled-iPod-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/36/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-10- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Select iPod from the list. The map will show the iPod’s location, and the device’s details will also appear in the card.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/6b/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-11-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Unlock-a- Disabled-iPod-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/6b/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-11- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Click the “Erase” button and confirm. A signal will be sent to the iPod to initiate the reset process. This process usually takes a while to complete.
- If Find My iPhone cannot contact your iPod, you can try the other method in this article.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/ce/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-12-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Unlock-a- Disabled-iPod-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/ce/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-12- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Reinstall iPod from scratch. Once the reset is complete, you’ll be prompted to reinstall your iPod as it was when you bought it. You can load a previously created backup (if you have one), otherwise the device will be completely blank and need to be copied over.
Using Recovery Mode
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/ce/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-13-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Unlock-a- Disabled-iPod-Step-13-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/ce/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-13- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-13-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Apply this method if iTunes asks for the passcode. If you are unable to restore your iPod using iTunes above because the system requires a passcode, or your iPod has never been connected to iTunes before, you will need to put the device into Recovery Mode. This will allow you to recover your iPod without the passcode.
- When using Recovery Mode, you will not be able to create a backup of your iPod before restoring. So all data on iPod will be lost.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e7/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-14-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Unlock-a- Disabled-iPod-Step-14-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e7/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-14- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-14-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Power off iPod. This procedure needs to be started while the iPod is powered off. Hold down the power button and swipe the Power slider to turn off the device.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/dc/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-15-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Unlock-a- Disabled-iPod-Step-15-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/dc/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-15- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-15-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Connect iPod to computer. The only way to activate Recovery Mode is to connect the iPod to the computer and use iTunes. You don’t have to sync your iPod with your computer before.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/ce/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-16-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Unlock-a- Disabled-iPod-Step-16-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/ce/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-16- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-16-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Open iTunes. If iTunes is not installed , you can download the app for free at apple.com/itunes/download .
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e1/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-17-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Unlock-a- Disabled-iPod-Step-17-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e1/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-17- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-17-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Hold down the power button and the Home key. Do not release until you see the Apple logo. Keep pressing and holding the buttons until the iTunes icon appears on the iPod screen.
- If your iPod’s Home key doesn’t work, download TinyUmbrella from firmwareumbrella.com , launch the program, and then click “Enter Recovery Mode”.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/1c/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-18-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Unlock-a- Disabled-iPod-Step-18-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/1c/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-18- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-18-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Click “Restore” in the pop-up window on iTunes. The iPod restore process will begin.
- If this process still doesn’t help you restore your iPod, see the next section.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f7/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-19.jpg/v4-460px-Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod- Step-19.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f7/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-19.jpg/v4-728px-Unlock- a-Disabled-iPod-Step-19.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Reinstall iPod. Once the recovery is complete, you’ll be prompted to set up your iPod as new again. If you have a backup available, you can load it on your iPod.
Using DFU Mode
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/79/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-20.jpg/v4-460px-Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod- Step-20.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/79/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-20.jpg/v4-728px-Unlock- a-Disabled-iPod-Step-20.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Apply this method if Recovery Mode does not work. DFU mode (Device Firmware Update: updating device hardware) is similar to Recovery Mode, even many users have reported that this mode works and Recovery Mode does not. As with Recovery Mode, you won’t be able to create a backup before the iPod is restored. [2] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/26/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-21.jpg/v4-460px-Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod- Step-21.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/26/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-21.jpg/v4-728px-Unlock- a-Disabled-iPod-Step-21.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Power off iPod. iPod needs to be powered off first for you to access DFU Mode. Hold down the power button and swipe the Power slider to turn off the device.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9a/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-22.jpg/v4-460px-Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod- Step-22.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9a/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-22.jpg/v4-728px-Unlock- a-Disabled-iPod-Step-22.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Plug the iPod into the computer and open iTunes. You need iTunes to restore your device from DFU Mode, this way the iPod doesn’t have to be synced with this computer before.
- If your iPod’s Home key doesn’t work, download TinyUmbrella from firmwareumbrella.com . Launch the program and then click “Enter DFU Mode” to continue.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/8a/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-23.jpg/v4-460px-Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod- Step-23.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/8a/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-23.jpg/v4-728px-Unlock- a-Disabled-iPod-Step-23.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Hold down the power button for three seconds. Count out loud from 1 to 3 so you don’t get confused about the time.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/5a/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-24.jpg/v4-460px-Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod- Step-24.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/5a/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-24.jpg/v4-728px-Unlock- a-Disabled-iPod-Step-24.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Continue holding the power button and start holding the Home key. Start holding down the Home key after you have held the power button for 3 seconds.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b8/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-25.jpg/v4-460px-Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod- Step-25.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b8/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-25.jpg/v4-728px-Unlock- a-Disabled-iPod-Step-25.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Hold both buttons for 10 seconds, then release the power button. Continue to hold down the Home key after you have released the power button.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/36/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-26.jpg/v4-460px-Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod- Step-26.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/36/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-26.jpg/v4-728px-Unlock- a-Disabled-iPod-Step-26.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Continue to hold down the Home key for another 10 seconds. The iPod screen remains dark, but iTunes will report that it has detected the iPod in recovery mode. Now you can release the Home key.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/bd/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-27.jpg/v4-460px-Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod- Step-27.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/bd/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-27.jpg/v4-728px-Unlock- a-Disabled-iPod-Step-27.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Click “Restore” to start the restore process. iPod will begin to be restored, which will take a while to complete.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2e/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-28.jpg/v4-460px-Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod- Step-28.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/2e/Unlock-a-Disabled-iPod-Step-28.jpg/v4-728px-Unlock- a-Disabled-iPod-Step-28.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Set up iPod. Once the restore is complete, you can reinstall your iPod like new. If you already have a backup, reload it on your iPod, otherwise all data will be lost.
