If you’re an iPod touch user and you forget your passcode, you might try all the possible combinations to unlock it without losing data. However, if you exhaust all your chances for passcode unlocking, your iPod will become disabled, and you’ll need to connect it to iTunes. Don’t worry; in this post, we’ll show you three simple ways to unlock a disabled iPod touch.
Unlocking It Using the Find My App
If you don’t have a computer handy, you can use the Find My app on your iPhone or iPad to unlock your iPod. This works if you’ve enabled Find My iPod touch previously and remember your Apple account details. First, go to Settings on your iPhone, sign in with the same Apple ID, and enable Find My. Then, open the Find My app, tap Devices, swipe up, and tap your iPod. You’ll see the “Erase This Device” option at the bottom; tap on it and enter your Apple ID and password to continue. Your iPod will start the erase process, and you can remove the device from the account. This will bring you to the hello screen, and you can proceed to the home screen.
Unlocking It Using iTunes
If Find My iPod is not enabled, you can use iTunes to unlock your iPod. Plug your iPod into the computer and put it into recovery mode by pressing and holding both the top and home buttons simultaneously until you see the “Connect to Computer” icon. Then, iTunes will recognize your iPod and suggest an update or restore. Choose the restore option and hit restore and update to confirm. iTunes will download the firmware first, and then your iPod will go through the restore process. If iTunes is giving you errors, you can use 4uKey as an alternative.
Unlocking It Using 4uKey
To use 4uKey, launch it, and make sure your iPod is connected and in recovery mode. Then, go to the unlock lock screen passcode field, click start to proceed, and download the firmware. Once it’s done, you’ll see that the passcode was removed successfully. Then, go ahead and set up your iPod and sync music from your iTunes library.
Conclusion
In conclusion, if you forget your iPod touch passcode and it becomes disabled, you can use the Find My app, iTunes, or 4uKey to unlock it. With these three simple ways, you don’t need to worry about losing your data.
