What kind of iPod? Touch? Classic? Nano? Mini? Shuffle?

If it's an iPod touch, you can restore it without the passcode, but you will need the password for the Apple Account that is logged in to iCloud after its been restored and you try to set it up again. Other iPod types do not require a passcode so can be restored directly.

If they don't have password for the Apple account, the family members will need to request access to the account. Once they have access you can restore the iPod and release it from the Apple Account during setup by entering the password for it.
