What is the MDM configuration profile (remote management profile)?
For iOS operating system, there are configuration profiles, with which you can flexibly configure Apple devices for corporate use. MDM profile (Mobile Device Management) allows a company or organization to install and configure an employee iPhone, iPad, iMac or MacBook with the company’s own remote management profile. That means the administrator (company) of the enterprise environment MDM when configured on an iDevice, can disable the features, install and uninstall programs, monitor, track the employee’s location, restrict Internet traffic, and even block or even wipe the Apple device remotely.
Why can’t i activate an iPhone or iPad on which corporate MDM remote management profile is installed?
Every corporate Apple device, whether it’s an iPhone or an iPad, on which remote management profile is installed, is always protected by a unique login and password that is assigned to each employee by the IT department administrator.
On corporate devices, an additional level of authentication is created, which is different from Apple id (iCloud) activation, all user credentials (login, password) are not stored on the Apple server, but directly on the company’s profile configurator. In view of this, you can only delete an MDM profile from an iPhone or iPad directly with an administrator (company), contacting Apple Support will not work or remove it.
How do I remove (bypass) a MDM lock from an iPhone or iPad?
The market of used smartphones is growing every year, many users prefer to buy a second-hand iPhone or iPad, since not everyone can afford a new one. Some of them belong to former employees of companies and on most of them MDM profile is still installed.
If you purchased an Apple device that has a corporate MDM remote management profile installed and want to remove the activation lock, you can easily delete the corporate lock from the device by contacting the original company support service from which the configuration profile was installed and asking the employee IT department (administrator) to delete your device serial number or IMEI from the company database so that you can go through activation and set up your iPhone / iPad as new.
