Are you having trouble accessing some of the features on your iPad? Is your iPad a company or organization-issued device? If your answer to both questions is a resounding yes, then there is a chance that the device has an MDM profile on it.
This article will look at what an MDM profile is and how you can remove the MDM profile from iPad granting you access to all its features.
What is the MDM on iPad?
Apple’s MDM (Mobile Device Management) is a feature designed to help businesses and corporations configure all company-issued iOS devices. It helps these organizations easily monitor all corporate iPhones and iPads remotely.
An MDM profile gives the administrator complete control over the device, allowing them to install and remove apps, erase the iOS device, and even lock it when it is needed. This can be a problem if an employee chooses to keep the device after leaving the company only to later realize that the company’s MDM profile still controls the device. To get total control of the device, it is essential to remove the MDM lock from the device. There are several ways to do that and, in this article, we will show you how to do that.
Remove MDM from iPad by Contacting the Administrator
One of the easiest ways to remove the MDM lock from an iPad is to simply have the IT administrator unlock the device for you. If you can, simply contact the company’s IT administrator and explain that you are unable to access the device. They can then use the company’s MDM control center and unenroll the device, allowing you to access all features without losing any of your data.
If you still work for the company and they don’t want to remove all restrictions, you can ask them to reduce some of them so you have a bit more control over the iPad and its features.
Remove MDM from iPad Free without Computer via Settings
If you know the passcode that the administrator used to set up the MDM restriction, you can very easily remove the profile via settings. Before you do this, however, it is important to have a backup of all your data and ensure that the device is adequately charged.
Here’s how to remove the MDM profile from an iPad without a computer:
Step 1: Open the Settings on your iPad.
Step 2: Go to “General > Device Management.”
Step 3: Tap on the MDM profile you want to remove and then tap “Remove Management.”
Step 4: Enter the passcode when prompted and the MDM restriction will be lifted.

Remove MDM from iPad with 3uTools (For iOS 13 and Lower)
3uTools is a free solution that you can use to remove MDM restrictions on your iPad. While it can be an effective solution, it may not be ideal for you if your device is running iPadOS 14 and above as it only works for devices running lower versions. The removal is also not permanent and your device will be locked again if you factory reset it.
It is however a good temporary solution to lift any MDM restrictions from the device. Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Download and install the 3uTools program on your computer. 3uTools is only available for Windows.
Step 2: Start 3uTools after installation and connect the iPad to the computer using a USB cable
Step 3: Click on the “Toolbox” menu in the top bar and select “Skip MDM Lock.”
Step 4: Read the notes on the two popups that appear and the program will begin the process to bypass MDM restrictions immediately. Keep the device connected until the process is complete.
Conclusion
MDM restrictions can be frustrating as they keep you from accessing all features on the iPad, thereby limiting your use of the device. This article details several ways to remove MDM restrictions. You can contact the company’s IT administrator and ask them to remove the restrictions or remove them yourself if you know the password. But perhaps the most effective solution, especially if the other two are not viable options for you is Unlockit iPhone Unlocker. Unlike 3uTools, it supports all versions of iPadOS and will unlock your device without fail even if you don’t have the password.
