Hello,
I bought one Mac from my partner!
she was the first owner and she started the Mac from the ground! Now we are no longer together but I don’t want to ask her because we never talked again!
how can I erase everything from the computer?

What model and year? On truly old machines you can erase it. On newer machines there are more security features which make this very difficult without the cooperation of the owner (as defined by the person who is signed in).
