Resetting all settings to Default (factory) settings

My lil one got a strong hold of my computer and changed a bunch of settings.. I'm seeing a black bar over all the things that i have selected as well as a voice describing EVERYTHING!!


I want to reset my computer to factory settings how do I go about doing this?


Thanks in advance

You need to go to System Preferences>Universal Access and uncheck voice over and anything ele that is checked there. You really don't need to wipe your drive.


But if you insist, then boot from your install disc, go to Utlities in the Menu bar and select Disk Utility, Erase and choose single pass.

I went to time machine and i am unable to view any dates of sort. I turn it on and nothing happens ... my laptop doesn't have a disk? drive .. when I click on Set Time Machine and it's on then select backup disk and only option that pops up is "other import time capsule quotation marks set up an airport time capsule that is not listed here" I am New to Apple LapTops... sorry I am missing something ? I should take a course .. or do they have an App for that LOL ...
