How to Permanently Remove MDM from iPad [Quick Guide]

Many schools and companies provide iPads for study or work. While MDM makes device management easy, it can be inconvenient after graduation or leaving a job. If you have an iPad issued by your school or company, here are 2 effective ways to remove MDM.

How to Remove MDM Profile from iPad via Settings

Sometimes, you may receive an iPad from your school, company, or as a second-hand device with MDM control. After graduation or leaving your job, it’s best to remove the MDM control if the iPad is now yours. After all, no one wants to be monitored.

If your manager provides you with the passcode and user credentials, you can easily remove the MDM profile from your iPad via Settings without using a computer.

Here’s how to remove the MDM profile from your iPad via Settings:

1. Open Settings on your iPad.

   

2. Tap General > VPN & Device Management (Device Management).
3. Tap Remove Profile (Leave Remote Management).
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to enter the passcode or security credentials.

How to Remove MDM from iPad without a Password [Cost-Effective]

Removing MDM via Settings works well if the iPad has no MDM password or if you know the password. If the MDM password is unknown, removal can be difficult.

In that case, using professional third-party MDM removal software is recommended.

BuhoUnlocker is a top tool for this purpose, helping Apple users unlock iPhones and iPads efficiently.

It can remove the MDM profile whether a passcode is required or not. Once removed, your device will be free from monitoring, letting you update apps, connect to Wi-Fi, and play games without restrictions.

Here’s how to remove remote management from an iPad using BuhoUnlocker:

1. Download for free, install, and launch BuhoUnlocker.
2. Click Bypass MDM.

   

3. Connect your iPad to your computer using a USB cable.
4. Click Bypass Now and wait for the MDM removal process to complete.

   

5. Once completed, click Completed.

   

After removing MDM, it’s a good idea to change your password.

Besides these two methods, other approaches like jailbreaking exist, but they carry higher risks.
