I lost my ipod a while ago, but I did get it back though....and when i did, it said "Ipod disabled Connect to Itunes" Well, the computer I had it first synced with in itunes is some what fried, so I don't have Itunes or a computer right now. But the good news is: 1-Fully Charge Your Ipod Battery. 2-Completely Let Your Ipod Battery Die. 3-Plug Your Ipod Back into Charger, and there you go. It should now be unlocked and able to get to the Passcode screen. I have an wall outlet charger, Im not sure if that makes any difference but that's what WORKED for me. Hope this helps you and anyone else who gets the annoying red disabled screen =D
