There is no way to do that, unfortunately. You have to put the iPod into DFU mode and then use a computer to restore it. I would suggest trying to find a buddy who will let you use their computer. To DFU the iPod, have it plugged into the computer, hold the lock and home buttons until the device shuts off, wait five seconds, and then release the lock button while still holding the home button. A message should then pop up on the computer telling you that the iPod is in recovery mode and that you have to restore it. Let me know if you have any questions

"Requirements :

1. A computer (Mac or Windows)

2. An Apple USB Cable

3. Your iPod

Method:

1. Connect your iPod to a computer running iTunes using the USB cable

2. Make sure your iPod is turned on, the hold both the Home and lock buttons simultaneously and hold for 10 seconds

3.On your computer go to iTunes and click ""Restore iPod""

4. Wait for iPod to restore and enjoy!

Hope this helps"

all you have to do is hold the power button and home button at the same time for ten seconds then let go of the power button but keep holding on to the power button for 10 seconds. then it should restart.
