If you want to enjoy all the functions and features on your organized iOS device without any restrictions, you have to get rid of MDM. If your device is retired or you are going to leave the organization, you can request an administrator password. If not, you have to bypass MDM from your iPhone or iPad. This guide identifies and demonstrates four proven methods to get the job done efficiently.

Part 1: What Is MDM on iPhone and iPad

MDM, short for Mobile Device Management, is a built-in feature that allows schools, companies, or organizations to remotely manage iPhone and iPad devices. It allows administrators to control settings, install or manage apps, enforce restrictions, and remotely lock or erase devices. If your iPhone or iPad is still enrolled in an organization's MDM service, you may be restricted in using some features. In this case, you may need to remove the MDM profile through the organization or use a suitable MDM removal method.

If your iPhone or iPad is managed by a company or school, the first option to remove MDM is to ask the administrator to unenroll the device. If the organization allows users to remove MDM on their own, you can follow these steps:

Step 1. Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad.

Step 2. Go to General VPN & Device Management.

Step 3. Select the corresponding MDM management profile.

Step 4. Tap Remove Management and follow the onscreen instructions.

Step 5. Enter the required credentials to finish the MDM removal.

Part 3: How to Bypass MDM on iPhone/iPad Easily

If your iPhone or iPad is still enrolled in MDM and you don't have the administrator credentials, you can use an MDM removal tool, such as Apeaksoft iFoneKit iOS Unlocker, to help remove the management profile. It is able to remove the MDM profile from your iOS device without any restrictions, such as the administrator password or your Apple ID password. Bear in mind that your device will update to the latest iOS or iPadOS version after the MDM bypass.

How to Bypass MDM on Your iPhone Without Password

Step 1. Install MDM removal software

Launch the best MDM bypass tool after you install it on your PC. It is compatible with Windows 11/10/8/7/XP/Vista. There is another version for Mac OS X 10.7 or above.

If you link the two devices for the first time, tap Trust on your screen to trust the computer.

Step 2. Bypass MDM on your iPhone

Click the Start button, and you will face two scenarios:

If Find My is disabled, the software will bypass MDM on your device automatically.

If Find My is enabled, open the Settings app, tap on your profile, choose Find My, and toggle off Find My iPhone. Then, the software will begin bypassing MDM. When it is done, your iPhone will restart. You can also use this program to bypass Screen Time.
