Your iPhone has been factory reset and you can’t re-set it up because it asks for remote management credentials during setup and you can’t provide those details? Don’t worry. In this article, we will explain what Remote Management is and how to remove it from your iPhone.
What does Remote Management mean on iPhone?
If you see the Remote Management screen on an iPhone, it means that the iPhone is enrolled in an MDM program and is remotely managed by an organization.
MDM (also known as Mobile Device Management) is a type of software used primarily by organizations to remotely control, configure, and secure the mobile devices they own or provide to their employees. Remote Management is a part of the MDM program, which enables the administrator to remotely monitor and manage the devices. It can also limit the control and freedom of the iPhone users, and prevent them from using some features, such as installing apps.
MDM is useful for organizations, but it is inconvenient for individual users so that you want to remove it from your device. However, removing MDM on the iPhone normally requires that you provide a password or that it be done from the administrator’s side. But what if you don’t know your password and can’t get in touch with the administrator?
Does a factory reset help? A factory reset does not remove Mobile Device Management; instead, it triggers the Remote Management screen, which appears when setting up the iPhone. The Remote Management screen asks for the username and password that were assigned to you by the MDM administrator before you can access the iPhone. If you don’t have or forgot the login credentials, you will be unable to access and use the iPhone. So that’s why you’ve come to this page.
