    Hi all

    Can anyone tell me if i can delete the entire operating system and reload it. My past employer had a security system on it but it is no longer needed. I dont want to go back to them to have them remove it either

    Any suggestions?

    Hugh

    Not sure you're on the right forum.

    What device is it? Mobile, tablet, computer?
    What OS is on the device now?

    You could probably flash stock firmware

    Only firmware for the Ireland Meteor network available in the above link!

    The Digital Services Act 2024 [EU] ~ Social Media and You ~ Nanny State guidance for parental monitoring of apps ~ Censorship: - broad laws that will probably effect Adult use of same.

    How was it running a "security system" and would a factory reset do the job. If not you could flash a generic international stock firmware

    If it's encrypted due to a previous work email policy a factory reset will remove it.
