Device Administration

The Device Administration feature allows you to select one or
more administration applications that control your device for
security purposes (for example, if your device is lost of
stolen). These applications enforce remote or local device
security policies.
Some of the features a device administration application
might control are:
•
Setting the number of failed password attempts before the
device is restored to factory settings.
•
Automatically locking the device.
•
Restoring factory settings on the device.
