Part 1: What Is Remote Management on iPad/iPhone
Remote Management, or Mobile Device Management, also known as MDM, is a way used by organizations to manage devices issued to their members. MDM enables IT administrators to limit the functionalities of usage of members' devices. With MDM, the administrator can set up email and network accounts, install and configure apps, and manage settings on iPhones and iPads.
The purpose is to prevent members from using their devices for personal use. MDM is a part of the Apple Platform Deployment program, which allows organizations to deploy and control Apple hardware, software, and services. If you get or purchase an iOS device from an organization, chances are that your iPhone or iPad is locked by MDM.

Step 3 You will see an option for an MDM profile. Tap on the profile, and press the Remove Management button at the bottom.
Step 4 When prompted, enter the username and password to remove Remote Management from your iPad immediately.
