I need to our companies MAC Book Pro to factory settings - We do not have the Recovery Key and I cant get to the disk utility - what do I need to do?

Hi Rick,

You can reset the Mac back to factory settings without needing the password. To do so, you'll need to erase the Mac, then reinstall macOS.

EDIT: You mentioned not being able to get to Disk Utility. In that case, follow these steps to erase the Mac:

1. Start up in macOS Recovery.
2. When you're asked for an administrator password, go to the top of the screen and select Recovery Assistant -> Erase Mac.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions to erase the Mac.
