Ok so I cam home from vacation and I guess someone in my house was trying to use my iPod 2G becuase now it says it is disabled and to connect it to iTunes.

Well.. when I connect it to iTunes all I get is "iTunes could not connect to the iPod because it is locked with a passcode. Enter your passcode on the ipod before connecting to iTunes" but I have no option to input any password on my ipod.

So ive read around and pretty much I have to do a DFU or recovery mode restore... but now another problem. My lock/unlock button is broken so I cant turn it off. I can just press home to wake the screen on and off.

Are there any programs or some other way to force this into reocvery mode?

Is your iPod jailbroken? Do you have SSH installed?
