This is my personal MAC Pro.

Did you buy the computer used? If so, it may be challenging to remove the external management control if what D.I. Johnson suggested does not work.


Managed computers can come that way out of the box new, in which case if you obtained it later from another party you would need Apple's help to remove this. If it was imposed later by a company, that company can remove it.
