Help Unlocking Device / Does Android have something similar to a registry I can edit?

I work for a school district and our devices are managed by an MDM. I have multiple devices that have a pass-code that the students can't remember, the device has also been disconnected from Wi-Fi prior to this student forgetting their pass-code.

I need to wipe the device. Since the MDM can't communicate with the device I cant use it to unlock it, I also can't do a factory data reset since the device is still being managed. Essentially it is bricked at the moment since any of the normal fixes don't work.

I was able to root the device, I though that might help. It didn't. Is there something similar to Windows Regedit that will allow to me access the device to wipe the code that way? I haven't had much luck in the way of google.

Thanks
