MDM Bypass from MacOS computers: MacBook Pro & Air (M1, T2)

About Mac MDM Enrollment Profile and Device Management Lock

It is essential to clearly understand what MDM Profile is and how corporations remotely manage Mac devices.

Apple introduced DEP (Device Enrollment Program) to help corporations supervise many devices simultaneously. Macs and other devices are enrolled into DEP when being activated.

Through DEP, companies can quickly install enrollment profiles on any corporate device. The Program makes it happen over the air through a corporate MDM server, giving complete distant control over Mac or another Apple gadget.

Mac MDM Enrollment Profile

MDM Enrollment Profile makes it easy for corporate administrators to restrict the use of a device, apply configuration commands, erase information, block the computer, etc. In other words, a macOS device that is locked with MDM has limited functions unless you remove device management.

Learn how to bypass the MDM profile on a Mac computer with M1 & T2 chip. With a helpful macOS MDM bypass tool, CheckM8, you can delete mobile device management on MacBook Air, Pro, other Macs.

How to Remove Device Management on MacBook Pro & Air?

When you don't have your MDM key, don't know the username or passcode, your only chance to get rid of the Mac enrollment profile is through CheckM8 software. This tool requires no skills or knowledge to bypass MDM on MacBook Air, Pro, and other supported Macs with M1 and T2 CPU (your operating system can be Big Sur or Monterey).

Here is how your locked MDM device can be prepared for bypassing the MDM profile and removing the device management:

1. Step 1. Turn on your Apple computer via Recovery Mode using the tips below.

If you've got a Mac with an M1 silicon CPU, start it and press-hold your power button until the startup option appears.

If your MacBook Pro/Air has Intel CPU, click the power button and click-hold Command (⌘)-R: keys afterward. Do so till there is the startup window.

4. Step 4. The computer restarts during the operating system update, showing you the famous Apple logotype and a progress bar at the bottom. You should turn off your router now! This task is crucial for every user who wants to succeed. Don't let your MacBook Pro, Air, or another device automatically connect to the Internet.


5. Step 5. After installing your macOS, you can set up the computer with no Wi-Fi connection. When you see the "Select a Wi-Fi network" suggestion, choose the "Other network settings" - then "My Mac computer does not connect to the Internet" and complete setting up the machine.


6. Step 6. You will have to turn on your computer in Recovery Mode again and turn off the SIP feature. Just follow the first step to make it happen.


7. Step 7. Launch "macOS Utilities" and, from the top, pull down "Utilities." Start the Terminal application by selecting "Terminal" while using the Recovery Mode. Now enter these two commands:



          
            csrutil disable
            reboot
          
        





Wait for the MacBook Pro, Air, or another computer to reboot. It happens automatically.
