I forget my lock code a1136 apple - Apple iPod MA446LL/A MP3 Player

SOURCE: to remove the lock code

Connect the iPod and go to 'my computer';
-open the iPod by right clicking on the iPod icon;
-on the toolbar menu click on 'Tools'
-select folder options>view>& check the box that says "show hidden files & folders"
-then click 'ok'

You will see a ghost folder called 'iPod control'. Open this folder to access the other folders & files contained within it.
Delete the file called "Itunes_lock"

SOURCE: forgot screen unlock code

For those forgetful people

all right guys i have a solution for this but it will require some work first:

• Mount the nano (plug it in)
• Navigate to X:\iPod_Control\Device\ (where X is the drive letter of the iPod)
• Find the file called "_locked" and open it with Notepad or TextEdit

now u should get some thing like : Vôáijåö\féúPbíþT~ñâHzõæLvùê@rýîD as the text but its not that con fusing to show here are two diffrent codes

Vôáijåö\féúPbíþT~ñâHzõæLvùê@rýîD
the same!
]óãhjåö\féúPbíþT~ñâHzõæLvùê@rýîD
so in fact the part that matters is the first 4.... and its a 4 digit code!!
