Got this off the net so I do not know if this works:

Unlock iPod Volume Limit

Does a pesky iPod volume limit have you in a bind, because you like your music to punish your ears with overwhelmingly loud sound? If you know the password, this isn't for you, but when you're at the end of the rope with no other option, here's a simple fix without restoring or formatting your iPod.

[edit] Steps(Mac)

Enable hidden folders.
If you go into Terminal and run these two commands all the hidden files appear when you open Finder.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder
To get back to hiding hidden files use these commands
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
killall Finder

Navigate to the hidden folder named "iPod_Control", and once there click on the folder "Device". Once there, delete the file named "_volumelocked".

Eject your iPod. Then, restart your iPod. You can do this by holding down the center and menu button for at least 6 seconds.

Once your iPod has rebooted, check and make sure that it worked. Simply go into "Settings", "Volume Limit". If it asks for a PIN, you did it WRONG. Retry the above procedure.


[edit] Steps(Windows)

Enable hidden folders.
Go to "Tools", "Folder Options". Then click on the tab called "View", and under "Hidden Files and Folders", click "Show Hidden Files and Folders".

Navigate to the hidden folder named "iPod_Control", and once there click on the folder "Device". Once there, delete the file named "_volumelocked".

Eject your iPod. Then, restart your iPod. You can do this by holding down the center and menu button for at least 6 seconds.

Once your iPod has rebooted, check and make sure that it worked. Simply go into "Settings", "Volume Limit". If it asks for a PIN, you did it WRONG. Retry the above procedure.
