Remotely clearing the device passcode

Updated on October 10th, 2022

Clearing the passcode removes the passcode from the device. If a device passcode is forgotten, clearing the passcode from the device can make it accessible again. For effective use of this feature, it is recommended to enforce a passcode policy for managed mobile devices.

The feature is supported on the iOS platform.

Please note that it is recommended that a new device passcode is set as soon as the old passcode has been cleared!

Steps for remotely clearing passcode
