1) I am a user, just like you. 2) Only the company/person who is managing it can turn it off.


If you have a device that has remote management on it and you bought it from "some guy" then there is a good possibility it was a lost or stolen phone. If the phone gives you any information about who is managing it, contact them to return their property to them.
