How to Erase & Reset any Mac to Factory Settings ║ macOS Catalina

✌️

This is a horrible video you’re screen is to far away we can’t see anything you’re y and you’re moving to fast

thanks man

I used your first method and if i’m at the terms and conditions i cant click agree anyone who can help me?

How do I do this if my ctrl key is stuck when I startup can’t go to the startup for reset as crtl held down

Command and r doesn’t work and the other method command s still takes me to the password page. Any solutions please ?

Thank you sir

Thank you so much dude ur a lifesaver 😊😊

After the applesetup part i hit enter and i got hit with a “override r——- root/wheel for /var/db/ .applesetupdone?”

Mine doesn’t reset it jus says root#

I have an early 2006 and when I used the approach with "rm /var/db/.applesetupdone (hit Enter)", because my iMac didn't respond to Cmd+R, all I was able to do was to restart the setup with a new user. However, this option does not reinstall the OS with factory settings because all of the old apps from the previous user were still installed and actually still configured in the OS influencing its behavior. Obviously this is now how the iMac shipped. Is there any other file I can delete, other than the /var/db/.applesetupdone, that will actually force a complete reinstallation of the entire OS, in which all files will be wiped out and replaced with a totally fresh OS install?

Thank you very much for this. Very useful!

I need the password for option 1 and option 2 doesn’t work

I have a windows keyboard and when I do the restart and holding down the windows key along with R it goes to a white screen and freezes. This is frustrating. Help please.

Mine said 23. Minutes then it went to 9 hours …. Why

Yeah this is bs, it’s either these comments are fake and are just lying, I’ve been trying for months to get this reset, I came here 5 months ago (Ik that cause I commented) and I left my computer alone after trying for a while and even now when I try again, it’s not working, and I don’t want to just throw away the computer or waste money

It says error on mount operation not permitted

Ty sir! 😁

Someone able to write this down for what he said in the command S instruction...it all went too fast.

Worked perfectly the first try. Thanks so much!

This was perfect. I followed the first method easily. Worked like a charm. THANK YOU!

Thank you for not starting the video with a story that you like to use NordVPN or how you lost your viginity. Just straight to the point. Thanks!

can anyone help? used this method however may have deleted the wrong utility and now stuck on OSX utilities screen. none of the recovery, time machine or reinstall options are working. thanks

thanks for tht video but what if it is the EFI / Firmware password :(

Thank you so much....straight to the point and no BS!

Awesome thanks, spent an hour trying then found this. Had to replay the commamd line lots of times though.

for some reason when I do the second option, I put it everything correctly but it doesn't erase or reset my computer, it just turn or like usual and put me at the log in option

Thank you! We had an old Macbook and tried everything to clear it…this worked!!!!

Thank you.Just the video I needed after buying my Mac used.

To fast! Unable to understand "F" or "S" Could not see any of the examples ! Very poorly down.....waste of time!

OMG!!! Thank you. I had to change my keyboard.

The second way the best way🎉😂

Do anybody these "experts" even know what they are doing????

Only the 2nd option "seemed" like it worked but when started up everything was still there and the same. What a joke.

Went i get home i will try this, this computer was giving to me. and so went i try to clear it asking me for the verafication # but i donmt have a way ti findout what is the verefication #. so i woul like to just kill that hall thing to factory.

You are awesome
Thank you so much I’ve been trying to figure it out forever!!!

👆Hit up ⬆️ ...legit plug for unlocks

The second option doesn’t work for me. Says volume could not be mounted for the 1st command and command not found for the second. Any ideas?

Very helpful video

does anybody know how to do this without an apple keyboard ??? i need to reset my computer which i lost the password to .. but i don't have an apple keyboard i have a random standard keyboard so i do not have the "command" button . please help !!!

How do I type forward slash

do i have to be connected to the internet for the 2nd way?

Well, you shouldn’t really try to unlock it yourself and trying something which you don’t know as it might do some extra bit damage. You can just take it to any Apple Store, or Apple Reseller or any authenticated Tech Guy Like MOE where they sell MacBook They’ll just log onto iTunes on their Mac and your problem should be resolved in 10–15 minutes. They effort required is very less, it’s just about knowing the thing that you’re doing. MOE charges are less. By the way, technically they shouldn’t ask for anything as it isn’t a laborious work at all so if you argue enough with them, they might not charge you.

But also, they will ask you for the Apple ID and Password. So, it would be better to change the password after the work has been done just for security purposes..

THANK YOU!!!

What do I do if it says "bash-3.2#"

Name above ⬆️ 👆👆👆 legiitt

tried this so many times on my iMac 2012, nothing works, could this option be missing as I bought 2nd hand so no idea what happened to it before I got it!

When ever I try both ways... it give me three beeps and restart....

Does not work for me. I am running bootcamp and the icon to booth into Mac is not there so I have to boot into Mac OS by the keyboard. As soon as I select Mac OS it start to boot into Mac OS and does not see the key press command + r. I have not found how to fix the issue in Windows 10.

Most time I come close to my wife phone, she always feel uncomfortable, so i felt she was hiding alot from me, i had to connect with Moe To RUN a Spy and give me full access to her phone without her consent'
