My itouch is disabled too, i tried all the "holding down the buttons" techniques, i tried to restore it on my laptop, but its telling me it has 3 hours remaining, i got as far as half way to restoring then it timed out and stopped, ive had to restart this process 5 times now. Nothing seems to be working to get back to my passcode screen. Ill never let a toddler play with my itouch again!
