Ok so I think my Mac is just overload and cant open anymore. I can start it and go to the page of the users but when I enter my password and click enter it shut down and restart. I dont need anything on this computer so I just need to know if I can erase everything ?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.14

First, try booting into Safe Mode.

If that works, we may be able to recover the drive.


If not, boot into Internet Recovery, erase the drive, and reinstall macOS.
