With original DVD media; start up w/ & use install-restore disc #1.

Otherwise see if Mac OS X newer than Lion was installed.

It may start in macOS Recovery.. see reinstall instructions.

Easier if you can: Use original DVD media ~ to erase HDD.

If you re-install anew, you can exit the installer so new

owner can personalize the macOS.

Good luck & happy trails!🐝🌻
