HELP - this device is managed by your organisation

[vaf]

Hello All

I wonder if anyone can help me.

I purchased a Lenovo M8 Tablet recently, Used, but as new of Craigs List.

I have factory reset the unit, but after a few hours of being normal, it restarts saying 'this device is managed by your organisation'.

I cannot see a way to fix the problem, via the settings. Will rooting the tablet override this? I am assuming this message means it is looking to connect to a specific organisational network.

Many thanks

Yes it still boots. Can use as normal for a few hours, but the locks out with the message.

Thanks

I wonder if the device has more than one profile?

Like if a work profile has been activated?

A work profile can be used (among other things) for a company to issue devices to employees, yet restrict them in ways to ensure that it remains a 'company phone', used only for company use.

Pull down your quick settings menu, and choose the edit function.

Scroll through all of the active and then the inactive icons and look for a little tool box (it looked like a lunch box to me).

If this icon is available, then a work profile has been setup on the device, and most likely will need to be disabled for things to be normal.

Any apps used on the work profile will lose all data when the work profile is deleted.

Apps not used on the work profile will remain untouched.
