Part 1. Can You Remove MDM from iPad?

What Is MDM on iPad?

Mobile Device Management (MDM) refers to the process of controlling, securing, and managing mobile devices, including iPad and iPhone, within an organization. It allows administrators to enforce security settings, install apps, restrict usage, and track the device. There are two common MDM setups, including

Profile-Based MDM

Manually installed configuration profiles like Jamf, Lightspeed, Kandji, and others, which can be deleted via Settings or in the third-party profile platform.

Supervised/DEP-Based MDM

Enrolled via Apple Business Manager, Apple School Manager, or Apple Configurator, which can sometimes be un-enrolled via Settings or directly released in those platforms.

How to Remove MDM Profile from iPad?

There are several ways to remove MDM lock on your iPad. With a removal password, you can directly delete MDM profile on your iPad. If you don't know the details of MDM profile, you can use an iPad MDM removal like MagFone iPhone Unlocker or jailbreak iPad to bypass MDM. Without enough time to figure out the details of removing MDM from iPad, watch the following video and get quick solutions to delete MDM profile on your iPad.

Why Does MDM Come Back after a Factory Reset?

If your iPad is managed via Apple Business Manager or DEP-enrolled, removing MDM is significantly harder—and sometimes not possible without authorization. A simple factory reset won't remove MDM. After resetting:

• The iPad reconnects to Apple's servers.
• DEP enrollment is re-verified.
• MDM is automatically reinstalled during activation.

It's easy to check if your iPad is supervised. Go to Settings > General > About and look for the line: "This iPad is supervised and managed by [organization]". If you see this, MDM will return after any reset. In this case, a factory reset is useless for removing MDM on your iPad.
