I just had to search for how to reset my iPod yet again so I figured I would try making a note of the information so I can more easily find it in the future (hopefully). According to Apple's How to rest iPod:

1 - Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2 - Press and hold the Play/Pause and Menu buttons simultaneously until the Apple/iPod logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.

If you are still unable to reset your iPod, use only one finger from one hand to press the Center (Select) button, and one finger from the other hand to press the Menu button.
