How to Reset / Format MacBook Pro 2015 Back to Factory Default

Best video I’ve found on how to do this. Thank you my dude, I appreciate it!🎉

This was the easiest video to watch for a person who hates Mac products. Thank you brother

thanks, worked very fine

The most helpful video on the internet. It just helped me.. Today is 10/17/2023

Thanks a lot mate! 🎉

this helped sooooo much my safari and everything else down there was frozen

Hello.

This doesn't work for me. My MBP 2015 Retina is booting straight into Recovery Mode (Disk Utility) and from there everything is greyed out. I want to erase the disk so that I can sell this one.
I just bought a new M2 MB today, so there is no need for the old one anymore. But it keeps going to Disk Utility and it surely does not come up with the new installation screen.

What can I do ?

Hey, thanks for the video, I have done exactly as you showed but the MacOS has been installing since yesterday evening, i'm really worried, plz guide me what to do.

Hi there. I have a early 2015 MacBook Pro 128gb. How come the OS shown for me is OS X El Capitan, and not a never one? Is it fine to just install that OS?

Top man, thank you v much

So helpful, thank you!

This isn’t doing anything for me. It just takes me to the same page but asking to select login or sign in

Nice, concise video guide!

As a Windows user since birth, this guide effectively showed me all I needed to know, and in 3-5 minutes I had the fresh OS installing on top of the clean boot drive

I just bought a used macbookpro how do I know that it hasn’t got malware or something in the internal volume that mirrors or captures everything I do in HD DRIVE?

THANK YOU! You are a LEGEND, my guy. Thank you!

What do I do if it says the disk is locked and the the disked is names OS X base system

Thank you for this tutorial, this has been the most helpful Mac reset video I have found.

this bricked my macbook pro. broke down at connecting to internet. Was my daughter's old laptop. Might want to warn people to make sure the thing is connected to the internet first.

THANK YOU SM OMG

After I pressed agree nothing shows

do i need to log out all my accounts? eg icloud mesages, facetime, etc?

Thank you! 🎉

I did exactly what you said, now I got an error and it can't reinstall macos. Really fukn pissed

thank you for this, it's more helpful than the apple website directions lol

Good instructions
Thank you

Omg thank you! Yours is the only instruction that helped me reset my mac!!

Thankyou!!! Don’t know why they had to make it so complicated 🙄 the only helpful video I found. Thanks so much

Super helpful. Thank you!

It worked, brill, thanks!

Thank you so much! My other internet searches were a dead end.

Thank you!🙂

This was more helpful than any of the apple resources. THANKS!

Wow mine said over 2 hours to install 😮‍💨

What if it never boots into a recovery screen?

Thank you so much ❤️

Thank you. Very helpful

Question @ITJungles: i have purchased from ebay , but unfortunately it is having recovery key, which i dont know. also the mac volume says (encrypted), i still see Erase option available if i select the system as u shown, chose APFS. do you think, it will erase still, the volume disk is encrypted/locked ?, and after erase,does it retain the same recovery key, or locking ? it is same model as u shown in this video Macbook Pro 2015 A1398

My computer keeps going back to the page where you erase your data and stuff

What happens if it says i still dont have enough storage to install the OS?

None of the online guides from apple were helping me understand how to do this without a Security Chip or something. I really appreciate it. Passing my 2015 on to my sibling. Thank you!!

Thank you! I just bought a secondhand MacBook and this helps me a lot I'm doing a full reset! ☺️

I tried this to factory reset a 2015 Macbook Air I just bought from someone. However, the macOS won't reinstall. It keeps saying it's missing files and information. Any idea how I can fix this? (It's trying to reinstall Sierra)
