MacBook Pro Reset to factory settings.

I have a new MacBook Pro that is right out of the box. During the data migration from the PC power was interrupted and I've been told I need to start over. But after several tries I keep loosing the conection and I think I need to start over. How do I reset a 2013 MacBook Pro to the factory settings?

iPad 2, iOS 5

To reset your computer, use OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718 Follow these steps:


1. Press Command and R keys while your Mac is starting to start into OS X Recovery, and open Disk Utility.


2. Select Macintosh HD on the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.


3. Close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X. After installing OS X, Setup Assistant will ask you to restore the backup, so do it
