my little cousin, hes 5, was playing with my ipod touch and he put a passcode lock on it and he doesnt remember what it was. i am seriously pissed because i cant even access anything! is there a way to like get passed the locked part? would reflashing the firmware or updating it work?

[desepticon]

lol. i guess you have to restore in itunes. Unless anyone else has another suggestion?

[jakecigar]

do you have ssh access into your ipot?
there's 1 record in

/private/var/Keychains/keychain-2.db

that has the encoded password. are you ready to delete that record or

RESTORE!

[dragnandy]

whats the ssh access? and what do you mean by delete that record? what record?

what happens when i restore it with itunes? how do i do that? im assuming itll erase everything?

[desepticon]

if you dont know what ssh is than I guess you dont have OpenSSH installed and will have to restore. Yes you will lose everything and you will have to jailbreak/unlock all over again.

CLick the restore button in iTunes and set up as a NEW phone(very important)

also, you could ask your cousin if he remembers ANY of the numbers and you could try entering all possible combinations of passwords(could take a while. 10x10x10x10=100,000 possible combinations. lol)

currently i dont have access to my laptop, where i originally plugged my ipod touch into to work with itunes, so when i plug it into my computer at home, it asks to enter the passcode.. so im stuck again. is there another way being that i dont have my laptop with me for a while?

put it into recovery mode before u connect it

[iFilipino]

Hold the power/lock and home button until the iTunes logo comes up...now restore.

[dragnandy]

how do i put it in recovery mode? and how would i get it out of recovery mode afterwards?

[iFilipino]

Just do what I told you to do, it's fool-proof.

[dragnandy]

thanks. you posted right before me so i didnt see it. thanks though.

[iFilipino]

Alright, update is if it worked.

[dragnandy]

thanks ill try it ASAP. and just a quick off topic question, if im going to hack or jailbreak the touch, is pwnage better or ziphone? do they both do the same thing?

[iFilipino]

DO NOT USE PWNAGE!!! It's is ONLY for the iPhone. Try iLiberty, it's iLiberty and iPlus in one. Nice little package.

[dragnandy]

oh, ok thanks. =] well how about the ziphone? i read it works with only the 8gb for some reason, which is the one i have (lucky me). what does iLiberty do that the ziphone doesnt?
