How do I put a password on a MDM (monterey)
The File menu should be available at the top of the screen. Once a new profile is created (or an existing one is opened), you should be able to set a removal password on it in the General section.
I'm not sure if you can restrict the removal of the MDM itself (unless the device is enrolled in Apple Business Manager), but you can set a removal authorization password on any profiles that you apply using Apple Configurator 2 (in the General section of the Profile editor window).
While far from being some kind of expert, happened across info
which may be of some use (or not) in this Apple Support article:
• Apple Configurator 2 for Mac (Table of Contents) User Guide - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/guide/apple-configurator-2/toc
• MDM Settings - Configurator 2 - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/guide/apple-configurator-2/mdm-settings-apdd02324d83/2.15/mac/10.15.6
Undoubtedly more info is available; maybe newer &/or more specific.
PS:
Another fairly current document may be of interest:
• Apple Platform Deployment (Table of Contents) - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/guide/deployment/toc
Covers aspects of MDM and implementation, among others.
Where is profile editor window? Is it when you prepare the device or when you double click on the device and go into files? And I tried dbl clicking into the profile window, adding the MDM but it says I lost connection to the server. Is this a MDM related issue or the devices?

(macOS10.10+ later) that may -or not be useful.
Just enough stuff to confuse any original issues? (Sorry to not address your Q.)
Also the Mac App Store version offers more/different features.
Hi taco_v2,
I'm not sure if I'm understanding your question. Are you trying to restrict who can put a device into an MDM using Apple Configurator 2?
