I used to work for a company and they gave us tablets that we used with our clients that were our own “personal” tablets. I quit that job and there isn’t an office that I could just go to and return the tablet to so I’ve had this tablet sitting around for months.
It works and turns on but again it’s a work tablet that has certain things locked on it so I was wondering if there was a way to reset it completely and just use it like a normal tablet. Or if that’s a crime lol.
Probably has an MDM on it. You’re best option is to contact whatever IT people were in charge of the tablets and either ask them to remove the MDM or ask if they want it back.
You might be able to jailbreak it, there’s a lot of articles that say it’s legal and a lot that say it’s illegal. I wouldn’t recommend jail breaking anything unless you actually know what you’re doing and it makes any account on that device susceptible to malware. If you have any information like customer info or company info I’d probably not even consider jailbreaking it. I’m also not to knowledgeable on jailbreaking so maybe someone else can chime in.
If it were me I’d just try my best to contact their IT people with email and with calling. If no one answers and you don’t get a response back within a month I’d just sell it for parts after doing a factory reset if the MDM allows you to. Just make sure you have a lot of evidence that you attempted to return it.
