Unable to login to device after retiring from Intune
Win 10 machine (version 1703), enrolled in MDM/Intune as a company-owned mobile device (joined to Azure AD), nothing on premise, Intune still being managed on the classic portal (Silverlight based co...
Thanks Allan. I actually found a different workaround that didn't require a full reset/refresh of Windows. I restarted in "Safe" mode which magically creates a default Administrator local account. Once I was bootstrapped into that account I was on my merry way once again.

Hi Bob
In the new Azure Portal, this option is called 'Remove company data' and the documentation says that this is not supported when the device is joined to Azure Active Directory.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/device-management
Remove company data
Removes only company data managed by Intune. Does not remove personal data from the device. The device will no longer be managed by Intune, and will no longer be able to access corporate resources (not supported for Windows devices that are joined to Azure Active Directory).
I always use the 'Factory reset' option which does the same job as the 'Reset this PC' option in Windows. Once the machine resets, you can join again to Azure AD or set up a local account.
It looks like you'll need to Reset the PC. You can hold down Shift on the lock screen and click Power > Restart to get started.
Hope this helps.

MTSBob I've got the same problem and your answer looks like it could save my life. Can you tell me what's the user name and password of that admin account that's being created once I enter safe mode?
- Thanks a lot Bob, this workaround made my day!
Timothy Schoeters looks like you where able to follow the workaround described by MTSBob . What's the user name and password of the admin account that's being created when accessing safe mode?
