When you created an encrypted backup, you were asked to set a password.
This is the password it's asking for.

I want to thank you all for your suggestions. The steps Christopher offered
did the trick. Huge thanks to you! I didn't think I would ever get there
because during restore I kept getting an error message that it could not
reach the servers.
A follow-up or continuation of this problem is when I tried restoring from a
backup on my PC, I was asked for a password. I tried my Apple password but
it will not take that. Is there another password? I sure don't remember
using anything else
Interesting, after I wrote last night, I tried using Find My iPhone. I was
able to trigger the pinging. Unfortunately, I was not able to stop it, since
the thing was dead. It finally ran itself out, I guess.
I have not had anyone look at the screen to see if that is working, but I do
have voiceover. If anyone knows about that password iTunes wants to restore
a backup, I will be most grateful. If I cant get to it not a huge deal. It
might be time to start from scratch anyway
Again, to everyone, thank you!

Please try the following steps.
Assuming the USB cable is still connected to both iPod and computer:
1. Press and hold the home and sleep/wake buttons for at least ten seconds.
2. After that time, release the sleep/wake button and keep the home button
held down until iTunes detects the iPod in recovery mode. Release the home
button.
3. Once iTunes detects the iPod in recovery mode, click the restore button.
Good luck.

I have a Touch 5 32gb. Has worked just fine for a couple of years. Last
night I charged it overnight. I used it for an hour or so this morning to
read NFB NewsLine. It sat unplugged and untouched until about 9:30 this
evening. It was paired with a bluetooth speaker I use quite a bit.
When I tried turning it on, I got a buzzing sound. Sort of a lower pitch
burned out florescent tube sound. I had someone view the screen and it was
black. Swiping would not do anything; no voiceover at all. I did get the
buzzing to stop by pressing the power button about 10 times. Seri was
working and voiceover was on, but would not speak and swiping the screen,
pressing volume buttons powering to sleep and awake did not emit any
sounds.
I did have Seri play music which I could hear. I did try plugging in
earbuds
and could hear the music but could not get anything from touching the
screen.
In my efforts to do anything, I must have turned the thing completely off
because Seri will no longer even work. It was recognized when connected to
iTunes through my PC. I tried resetting, but it said I had to turn off
Find
My iPhone in iCloud first. Real helpful. I synchronized things, so it was
being seen, but there still is no sound coming from it and the screen
remains blank.
I should mention I also plugged in the power cord. I could hear the tones
when connecting, but that was the only sound I could get.
Is this thing a brick? Is there anything more I can try? I have never had
a
problem with it and do use it all day long nearly every day for reading,
BARD or streaming.
Any ideas will be most appreciated!
