SOURCE: ipod lock code

  1. Enable hidden folders.
    In Windows Explorer,go to "Tools", "Folder Options". Then click on the tab called "View", and under "Hidden Files and Folders", click "Show Hidden Files and Folders".
  2. Navigate ("My Computer" to double-click on the icon of your attached iPod) to the hidden folder named "iPod_Control", and once there click on the folder "Device". Once there, delete the file named "_volumelocked".
  3. Eject your iPod. Then, restart your iPod. You can do this by holding down the center and menu button for at least 6 seconds.
  4. Once your iPod has rebooted, check and make sure that it worked. Simply go into "Settings", "Volume Limit". If it asks for a PIN, you did it WRONG. Retry the above procedure.

Unless you want to reset it and sync it to another computer, you can't. Sorry.

I have a lock on my apple ipod. It's on the welcome screen.It need 4 numbers.Can i get a solve for this immediately.Model-a1136 serial num- 9c7169jvv9k emc 2065

Your iPod is "locked". Enter the correct 4 digits, to unlock it.

Keep trying -- from 0-0-0-0 to 9-9-9-9 is only ten thousand different combinations. Statistically-speaking, you'll only need to make FIVE thousand attempts, on the average, to find the correct value.

4 gb nano locked and i forgot the combination

Ipod Lock
You can unlock iPod in one of two ways:
1...Enter the combination on iPod using the same controls you used to set the combination. If you do not enter the correct combination, the digits onscreen flash red. When you enter the combination correctly, iPod will unlock and return you to the last viewed screen.
2...Connect 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 of these methods, you can restore your iPod to factory settings. Please note that this will erase all data on your iPod. Afterwards, you can add your music and data back to 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.
Important: Apple 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.
Good Luck,
I hope this helps

I have entered a lock pasword and forgot the password how can i unlock my a1136?

no good!
maybe u can bypass it by wiring it up to a mac,
making a software update or by formating the disk, if it is recognized by the mac...
you may give it a try, else urgently see the shop where u bought it and ask for support!

good luck ;-)

Forgot screen unlock code black apple ipod model no a1136 My ipod is locked and i forgot the 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!!
