Managing Devices : Managing a Device : Remotely Locking a Device
Remotely Locking a Device
If the mobile device management has been allowed on a device, you can lock this device. The effect is the same as switching off the display by pressing the device's power button. This is useful when the device has been lost.
Caution:  
Locking a lost device is only useful if a passcode has been set on the device. If a device can be used without entering a passcode, the following message is shown next to the Lock Device Now button: "No passcode set on this device" . In this case, locking does not make sense and you should consider to wipe the device.
To lock a device
1. Click .
2. Click the link for the device that you want to lock.
3. On the Device tab, click Lock Device Now.
The device is locked immediately. You are not prompted to confirm this command.
