How to Factory Reset Your MacBook?

To start with, make sure to back up any data before attempting to factory reset your MacBook. If you do not have any backup, then you might want to think twice about trying the factory reset. Factory Resetting could lead to data loss if done incorrectly. The only way to get things back to how they were is to completely erase everything from the disk. In short, it’s just like starting over again. After you finish the factory reset, you’ll need to set up everything again. You’ll first need to restore backed-up files and settings. Then install software updates and restart your computer. Depending on your computer model and what you’re doing, it can take anywhere from 15 minutes to several hours to complete a factory reset of your MacBook.

Since factory resets delete everything, it won’t matter which computer you’re using to attempt the reset. However, since some models may require additional steps (like removing memory cards), make sure to check your owner’s manual before proceeding. Factory resets will remove any data stored on the hard drive, including cookies, cache files, browsing history, saved passwords, email accounts, pictures, music, and video files.
