What is MDM Locked MacBook
MDM lock refers to Mobile Device Management (MDM) lock, a security feature used by companies, governments, or schools to manage and secure their devices. MDM allows the IT admin of an organization to control, configure, and track all devices remotely. It enforces security policies and manages apps and data. Every time the MDM Locked MacBook connects to the internet, the admin can manage (control) it.
More on MDM
When any Apple device has an MDM lock, the MDM system controls it. This lock restricts certain functionalities, requires specific settings and manages app installations. In corporate environments, MDM locks ensure devices comply with security policies and prevent unauthorized use.
MDM locks also restrict access to settings and features, track the device’s location, delete data remotely and implement software updates. If you encounter an MDM lock on a device, contact the organization’s MDM IT administrator to remove or adjust the restrictions.

How check if MacBook is locked by MDM
It’s pretty easy actually. If you are buying a used Apple device like a MacBook, iPad, or iPhone, simply connect it to the internet and factory reset the device. When you reset it, the device will check for Apple ID locks and MDM locks. If the device resets without any errors or password prompts, it means the device is good to buy and not locked by its previous owner.
How to remove MDM Locked
Officially, you can only ask the organization’s IT department to release the device from its control. The T2 security chip on the logic board implements MDM locks, so end users cannot change or replace the security chipset.
Many methods online claim to offer bypass solutions, but these are just temporary fixes. The system will lock the device again. The danger of using such bypasses is that if your device locks again after storing data on it, you won’t be able to backup your data.
