How do I wipe an iPod Touch completely clean?
Insert Name Here²:
use a microfiber cloth
Metario:
If it has find my iPod enabled on it, you'll have to remove it from your old iCloud account first to be able to use it.
To hard reset it: you'll want to enter Recovery Mode, and download the latest SIGNED firmware for your device. http://ipsw.me is great for this. Go into iTunes, and click restore. Select your IPSW file, and wait for it to finish restoring, and you'll have a clean phone. You CANNOT set it up without removing it from your old iCloud account, however, due to Find my iPod and etc.

I've tried restoring from iTunes but it still asks me for the iCloud ID/password and I can't get past setup due to it.

If you're just trying to remove iCloud, go to http://iCloud.com and login with the one you set it up with. Go to Find my iPhone, scroll down to your device, click it, and press Remove/Delete/whatever. This will remove it from your iCloud account, allowing you to restore/set it up as new.
If you can't remove it from your iCloud account, then you're forgeted.
