Try a Reset...
Hold the centre button and menu button down together and keep them pressed until the apple logo appears on the screen then try it.

the only way to bypass the lock code is to do a hard reset. sorry there is no way around this.

HARD RESET
iPods with Click Wheels - iPod Nano, iPod Classic, iPod 5th Gen, iPod Color, iPod Mini

To perform an iPod hard reset for the above models, start by toggling the hold switch from off to hold, then back off again. Press and hold down the Center button (middle of click wheel) and the Menu button. Continue to hold these buttons down until you see the Apple logo on the iPod screen (approximately 6-8 seconds).
If the hard reset doesn't work the first time, try it again a couple more times. Sometimes it works the second or third time around.
If the iPod hard reset is still not working, try connecting your iPod to a power source, or computer, and then doing the hard reset.
*For older iPod models, you may need to hold down the Play/Pause button and menu button, rather than the Center button and Menu button

HARD RESET

iPod Shuffle
To perform an iPod Shuffle hard reset, first disconnect the iPod from the charger (if connected). Move the power switch to the Off position. Wait 5-10 seconds for the iPod to fully power off. Move the switch to the play in order, or shuffle position. For iPod Shuffle 2nd generation, move the power switch back to the On position.
*No matter what version of iPod Shuffle you are using, when you move the shuffle/play in order/on switch you should see a green stripe.*

HARD RESET
iPod Touch
To perform an iPod Touch hard reset, start by turning the iPod Touch on. Press and hold down the sleep/wake button until you see the Apple logo on the screen. Next, you need to turn the iPod Touch completely off. Press and hold down the sleep/wake button until you see the red slider. Slide the slider to turn off the iPod Touch. This should fix any potential problems you are having with your iPod Touch.
If you are unable to turn off iPod Touch, you can try doing a manual reset. To do so, hold down the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time. Continue to hold them for at least 10-15 seconds. Wait for the Apple logo to appear.

According to Apple, if you have forgotten the code, you can unlock the
IPod by doing the following:
Connect your IPod to the primary computer you use it with (the first one
IPod synced with), and open iTunes. When you disconnect iPod from the
computer, it will no longer be locked.
If you can't unlock IPod using either [the code or connecting it to the
computer you use to manage its songs]. . . you can restore your iPod to
factory settings using iPod Updater. Please note that this will erase
all data on your iPod. Afterwards, you can add your music and data back
to your iPod.
If you want to change the primary computer that your IPod is associated
with, do this:
1. Restore your iPod. Warning: The restore process cannot be undone.
All of your songs and files will be deleted. Always make a backup of
your important data.
2. Connect your iPod to the computer that you want to be the primary
computer.
3. Open iTunes and synchronize.
Apple also notes that company "representatives cannot unlock an iPod if
you forget your combination. If you can't unlock your iPod and you don't
have access to the primary computer, your only option is to restore the
IPod, which will erase all music and data."

Follow These Steps To Restore Password
1) Place The iPod In Recovery Mode By Holding Down Power And Home Button For 7-10 Seconds.
2) Wait For Apple Screen To Appear, Release Power Button
3) Look For A Pop-up Stating "Detected iPod Touch In Recovery Mode" Release Home Button When This Pops Up
4) You Should Be Able To Access It, If Not Simply Do A Light Restore Using The iTunes Settings

With this issue if when you connect your ipod to itunes it freezes
it is one of 2 issues

1) Your ipod has an error on the disk and the computer cannot read so it freezes - in this case it is a hard ware issue with the ipod and you need to get it repaired

2) Your anti- virus is trying to scan the ipod for virus and it can so rather then letting the ipod connect to your cpu it freezes the process till you disconnect the ipod -

A great test would be if you can take this to another cpu and try it if it freezes that cpu too then it is the ipod - if it works fine then it is the anti-virus you need to stop the scan and fix process.

Always unplug your Ipod using the Eject option in itunes or safely remove hardware option which appears on the right side of the taskbar.

Tried to do a restore on my 40 gig Ipod A1059. It started the restore and then it went to a screen showing a wall adapter. I always charge via USB and don't have a wall adapter. Help!?!
