If you repeatedly enter the wrong passcode, iPhone or iPod touch
will be disabled for longer intervals, before you can try again. After
too many unsuccessful attempts, you won't be able to try again until
you connect to the computer you normally sync with. Note that starting
with iPhone 2.1 software, there is a setting to cause the device to
erase itself after 10 consecutive incorrect password attempts. This
setting is off by default. It can be turned on by tapping Settings > General > Passcode Lock after you enter a correct passcode.
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your
device on the computer that was used to originally sync the iPhone or
iPod touch so that you can reset your passcode and resync the data from
the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different
computer that was never synced to the iPhone or iPod touch, you will be
able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode but your data
will not be present.

You can connect your iPOd on the computer which you primarily use with your iPOD, then open Itunes when you disconnect from it it will be no longer locked.
You'll need to restore the software with iTunes. Select the iPod in iTunes, under the Summary Tab, select Restore. You will then need to resync it as well.
1. Turn on your iPod (in my case it would only get as far as displaying the Apple logo 2. Hold the power and home buttons down (the iPod will power off after 10 seconds, but keep holding those buttons down) 3. After the iPod powers off, release the power button (but keep holding the home button down) 4. After a couple more seconds, you should hear that magical “ding dong” that means the iPod is coming back alive, and that Windows has detected it. You may even see a little “New hardware” popup in Windows. It is now safe to release the home button, and your iPod is in DFU mode. 5. Now iTunes will see it as a DFU’ed iPod and should ask you to automatically restore its firmware. 6. iTunes has to download the new firmware, and it takes a while, so go make a sandwich.
Try turning off your ipod, holding the home button, and plugging it in, while still holding the home button, until a picture of the ipod cable appears pointing to the itunes symbol. this will reset you ipod, and you don't need the passcode to make it usable again.
