The presence of a management profile indicates that the device is centrally managed by an Enterprise or Educational establishment.  The applied policy may severely restrict what you can and can’t do with the device.


Devices that are configuration locked by an MDM platform can usually only be released from central management by the platform that manages the device. Be aware that Apple will not assist with removal of management profiles.


Unless you are lucky - and have the option to delete the profile from iPad Settings - you’ll need to seek assistance directly from the System Administrator who manages the device.
