Does MDM ClearPasscode work during passcode lockout (“Try again in X minutes” / Security Lockout)?

Hi,

I’m testing the ClearPasscode MDM command: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/clear-passcode-command

Question: If a user enters the passcode incorrectly multiple times and the device becomes temporarily locked (e.g., “Try again in X minutes”) or reaches “Security Lockout”, can ClearPasscode still be executed successfully while the device is in that state?


{'ErrorCode': 5013,
35708                  'ErrorDomain': 'MCPasscodeErrorDomain',
35709                  'LocalizedDescription': '\xe3\x81\x93...x89',
35710                  'USEnglishDescription': 'The passcode cannot be cleared (-1)'}

If it depends on conditions (e.g., supervised vs. user enrollment, availability of UnlockToken, network/check-in state), could you clarify which conditions are required?

Thank you.
