  2. Sign out of iCloud and other services - Before resetting your Mac, sign out of iCloud, iTunes, and any other services that are linked to your Apple ID.
  3. Restart your Mac - Restart your Mac and hold down the Command and R keys until the Apple logo appears. This will start your Mac in recovery mode.
  4. Erase your hard drive - In recovery mode, open Disk Utility and select your Mac's hard drive. Click on the Erase button to erase the hard drive.
  5. Reinstall macOS - After erasing the hard drive, close Disk Utility and select the Reinstall macOS option from the recovery menu. Follow the on-screen instructions to reinstall macOS.
