Description

This article provides steps to locate the passcode/PIN used for the "Lock Device" command sent to a device in Jamf School.

Locating the Lock Device Passcode/PIN

Check Device Activity Logs

  1. In Jamf School, go to Devices > Inventory.

  2. Select the specific device you want to check.

  3. Navigate to the Activity Logs section.
