I've been trying to unlock my iPod touch 4gen for 3 years now, and kept giving up. I just can't remember the password (it's alphanumeric sadly, not 4-digit)

>inb4 put it on restore mode and plug into iTunes
iTunes doesn't register my iPod on it for some reason. Even my PC won't register the USB to begin with, although it does charge my iPod (wtf?)

Really clueless... I just want to unlock the damn thing for once and be done with it. Help and salvation greatly appreciated anons

So long as you know the password to the apple id it's registered with, you just need to put it in DFU mode, wipe and restore it.

If you don't, you are SOL, because that's the entire point of an antitheft password.

iDevices won't sync unless you unlock them (which unlocks the keys it needs to access its own encrypted SSD), then press "trust this computer".

Without the password, nothing can access the user partition, including the iPod itself.

There's no reason you wouldn't know your own Apple ID password (which is not the same thing as the device's lockscreen password).

The only reason you wouldn't know a device's Apple ID password is if you stole it.

But yes, if for some reason you locked the device to an account you don't know the password to, your only options are to take it to an Apple store where they can verify your identity and reset the account password, to use it as a paperweight, or to give it back to whoever you stole it from.

ok, I didn't steal it. Why did you go as far as creating an infographic? If I stole it I would just sell it as is. There's no reason for me to bother with unlocking it.

Fuck, even if I were to steal it I would still expect help from anyone who isn't a moralfag.

Anyways, I do know my Apple ID password, I don't know my DEVICE password. Should I clarify the differences of these to you, seeing as you are a professional on these things?

I know the password to my account. What do I do from here?

Thing is brother I do know the apple id pass. Putting it on DFU mode and connecting it with a usb to my pc makes absolutely NOTHING pop on iTunes. :/

You're the one with problems reading/understanding.

If you *do* know the id password and *don't* know the device password, then just DFU it, wipe and restore, entering the *id* password during setup.

As. stated. above.

alright bros, then please kindly tutor me on how to DFU properly. I've held the buttons as best as I know until I had the connecto itunes picture showing on my device. Then I've proceeded to connect it to me PC via cable, to which iTunes didn't give a shit and simply ignored me

Proper DFU mode has no "connect to iTunes" picture.

>Plug your device into your computer with a USB cable.
>Turn off the device.
>Hold the Power button for 3 seconds.
>Hold the Home and Power buttons for 10 seconds.
>Release the Power button but keep holding the Home button.

Not that guy but you'd never get help, hence the infographic. 4chan seems to really dislike iThings being stolen.

It's just facts.

iOS antitheft is unbreakable. There's no weird trick that'll get around it.

Were you thinking that the FBI had to take Apple to the supreme court to try to get them to help, but all you needed to do was run hackmyiphone.exe?

That's pushing it, nothing is unbreakable. There are no currently known exploitable vulnerabilities though and that's unlikely to change any time soon with the updates.

Even before the "unbreakable" anti theft system, the reaction on /g/ was "give it back Tyrone", the anti theft has just given them a non moral reason.

Dock deff not broken
I doubt the lead is broken because I tried two of them and neither worked
I trying reinstalling apple mobile device drivers

>>119583
In that case even a bypass of the retarded "FON LACKED 5EVER HOURS" would be good. I want to try more than 3 of my old passwords before my phone locks itself for a fucking hour

>>119583
At this point I'd gladly let some faggot steal my shit if he can crack it open. At least one of us will make good use of these 100 grams of electronics

Yeah, but there isn't one.

It's not the phone's UI doing this, it's the secure enclave forbidding the phone from trying passwords too quickly.

This is the specific thing the FBI sued Apple over.

I got an ipod 2g running on 4.2.1 and I'm using ispirit to view the files inside without even having to unlock. Idk about the newer versions but if it's jailbroken I'm pretty sure there's a way to view the files inside.

Unless you unwisely told a friend or acquaintance you could figure out how to unlock it on your own.
