Sorry but that device was design to work with iTunes and your Apple Account. You need those. The link below may help you recover your password.

The iPod nano (6th generation) is not a standalone device that can access the Apple Music subscription service or the iTunes Store. You will need a Mac or a Windows PC to do anything other than (a) recharging it, and (b) playing or viewing stuff already on it.

If you are on a Mac running Catalina or later, there is no iTunes application. Instead there is a Music application – and the controls for loading music onto your iPod are in the Finder.
