I have several 5th gen iPads and 2 iPad minis that I bought but they have MDM software on them. What should I do?

Apple’s iPad MDM software can only be disabled by the MDM manager system via a network connection. It’s designed not to be easily removed. Best to locate the original owner (company) of the system so they can disable it properly. Just like an iCloud locked device the owner needs to remove it from his account otherwise you have a great door stop.

Update: Check out appletech752 on YouTube they have a removal tool
