If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to 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 with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode

My grandsonl left his IPod here because it locked up for 22,714,750 minutes. Why would a company make a device that does such a thing? I understand these are not cheap. How is this fixed? To me this is an ignorant thing for a company to do if it wants to make money. I will never buy such a thing that would lock up for 43 years.
