Hi!
I bought a new macbook pro few days ago and when I started it up, I misspelled the email (instead of @gmail.com I wrote @gmail.co). Now I can verify my email address and also the find my mac is on! My computer is brand new, no data stored. Can I reset to factory setting and start all over again?
Please HELP!
regards,

Delete the account and add it back would be the easiest thing to do.
Do a backup, preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS.
When you reboot, use Setup Assistant to restore your data.
