If you ever accidently locked yourself out of your iPod this is the easiest way to UNLOCK an iPod

FIRST CONNECT iPod TO COMPUTER/LAPTOP (using a USB cable)

On your desktop click on Microsoft

start button, then choose Run..

type this exactly

J:\ipod_Control\Device

then click

OK

tip: use the letter representing your ipod driver, for example

J...(you can find your letter by clicking
My computer then see your ipod name under that letter)

there will be a file named

_locked

you then right click on it and choose

Rename, you then type

OR

you can just

and

safely disconnect usb driver (this would be either on your icon tray or you could use itunes or any other media player that has an eject button)

ps...have not tried it, but....

if you have a locked iphone or itouch, this just might work for it too.....

instead of

replace

ipod to iphone or itouch, get it?...

Good!...
