Re: Completely pointless anyway (@Crazy Operations Guy)
"Well, MDM is quite often used to deploy policies and enable provisioning/wiping company data (its own apps for instance). It can thus enforce locking and other security policies, but it can't unlock your phone per se (well, they can factory reset/wipe it if so configured, but it wouldn't help in this case, quite the contrary) - they need PIN IIRC, not MDM password (which could be remotely reset)."
@bri. The above is incorrect - San Bernadino were using MobileIron on some of their devices, the unlock command is pretty starightforward in there (select the user > actions > unlock in the admin portal), as long as it had some network connectivity and power they would be able to get in.
