4 Ways to Remove ManageEngine MDM

You've purchased a used iPhone or iPad, and upon starting up the device, it prompts you for the ManageEngine MDM lock username and password. This indicates that the iOS devices you've acquired are equipped with a remote management lock, restricting access to certain device functions.

In the following text, I'll guide you through the process of easily removing the ManageEngine lock from your device.

What is ManageEngine?

ManageEngine is an MDM (Mobile Device Management) solution designed to safeguard corporate data and streamline device management by connecting multiple corporate devices to the same MDM server.

When a ManageEngine MDM configuration profile is installed on your device, it grants administrators access to various device functions. These configuration profiles, which are XML files, can modify device settings such as passcodes, WiFi settings, email accounts, and more. Additionally, administrators can utilize the remote management tool to erase private data or restore the device to factory settings.

While there are numerous benefits to using an MDM tool for managing iPhone, iPad, and macOS devices, including centralized file management for organizations, it can pose challenges for users who prefer not to grant access to their devices.

Why Remove ManageEngine MDM?

Change in Device Ownership

If a device was used for work but is now owned personally, you may want to remove the ManageEngine MDM profile to switch the device to personal use.

Second-Hand Device with ManageEngine

If you buy a second-hand device that still has ManageEngine enrolled, removing the MDM profile may be needed to unlink the device from the organization's supervision system.

Remove ManageEngine MDM Using Admin Panel

If you can contact the administrator who installed ManageEngine on your device and they are willing to help you remove it, then you can have them log in to the Admin control panel of ManageEngine to un-enroll ManageEngine from your device. Here's how:

1. Go to Enrollment on the web portal.
2. Toggle to the Enrollment tab.
3. Choose the Search option, then search for the device's known features to find it (username, device name, etc.).
4. Click on the Action button and then choose Remove Device.
5. Click OK in the confirming dialog box that appears.

If there are connectivity problems and the agent app is hidden on the device, the device will become unmanaged from the MDM server, and you won't be able to remove the MDM agent using the instructions above. In such cases, you will need to unhide the app and then delete it.

Remove ManageEngine MDM from iPhone Settings

If your iPhone hasn't been set as non-removable from the user, there is a chance that you can remove the ManageEngine MDM profile directly from the settings on your device:

Here is a step-by-step guide to removing ManageEngine on an iPhone or iPad:

Step 1: Open the Settings app on your device and navigate to General > VPN & Device Management.

Step 2: Locate the profile associated with the MDM configuration and tap on it.

Step 3: Tap on the Remove Management option.

Step 4: Enter the device passcode when prompted.
