Does anyone know how to remove a MDM profile without having the need to contact apple business manager to remove the devise? Wiping and reinstalling does not seems to remove the profile. Unable to bypass without enrolling device. Any ideas ?

Why can't I remove MDM profile on MacBook?
When the administrator sets the MDM profile installed on a managed Mac computer as non-removable, nobody can delete the MDM profile from MacBook. The solution is to contact the admin for the password or try the above ways.
Will factory reset remove MDM on Mac?
That depends. Factory reset can't remove MDM on Mac if the device is still enrolled into the MDM system. If you reset the device enrolled with MDM, the MDM profile will keep popping up and ask for the admin's name and password. However, if your MacBook has been unenrolled from the MDM list, you may need to reset the device to remove the MDM profile completely.
Yo!
I worked for a medium sized tech startup that went bankrupt about a year and a half ago. There was no notice and the entire company was laid off with no severance, while numerous c suite executives and the founder moved to a new company to try the same idea and restart.
I have a company issued MacBook that I just recently started to use. An old coworker has been using hers since the layoff so I figured I’d give mine a go. There’s no way for me to return it as the company no longer exists. We were all fully remote and no emails sent out regarding a return and I was not able to reach anyone shortly after the layoff to ask.
There’s an MDM profile that was setup when I first received the laptop. I’ve been using the laptop just fine for the past couple of days (browsing the web, downloading web browsers, etc) but was wondering if there was a way to remove the MDM and have the laptop be completely ‘old company’ free.
Apologies if this is not the best place to ask, I’ve rarely ever used Mac’s before so I’m pretty basic with all of this stuff.
Appreciate any help or opinions.
EDIT: I found a link from another post, followed the steps and bypassed the MDM completely. No more profiles on the computer and from what I’ve read, can now update / use iCloud and everything else as a normal Mac could.
