How do I regain screen sharing access after enabling Remote Management on Mac?

I’m running a headless server. And I accidentally turned on remote management. I was previously using only screen sharing. Now when I login to my Mac from my iPad or iPhone, using the screens, connect application, both remote management and screen sharing are great out and not accessible. When I try to change either, I get the message “Screen sharing is currently being controlled by the remote management service”.

Thank you for any help.

You will need to access the physical system directly to correct the mistake since you cannot access it remotely.

Or maybe you can access the system remotely using VNC. If you have an Apple computer, within the Finder you can select "Connect To Server ..." and enter the "vnc://<ip-address>", or "vnc://<dns-name>.local" (if you are on the same subnet). If you have a Windows or Linux system, then you should be able to use them as well if you have a VNC client.
