Factory reset locked devices

Advanced profiles offer additional features that help you monitor and manage your devices. One such feature is the ability to remotely factory reset a locked device in scenarios where the device is suspected or at risk of being compromised, such as:

• The device can’t be unlocked and needs to be factory reset for EMM enrollment.
• The device user violates guidelines to factory reset or safely return the device.
• The device user continues to use the device without performing a factory reset.
• The device user has unauthorized access to restricted or sensitive information.
