How to Factory Reset iMac Without Password

Factory Resetting iMac Without Password

Resetting an iMac to its factory settings can be a daunting task, especially if you've forgotten the password. However, there are a few methods you can try to achieve this.

Method 1: Using Apple ID

If you have access to the Apple ID associated with the iMac, you can use it to reset the password. Go to the Apple ID website, sign in, and navigate to the 'Security' section. From there, you can reset the password for your iMac.

Method 2: Recovery Mode

Another way to factory reset your iMac without a password is by booting into Recovery Mode. Turn off your iMac, then turn it back on and immediately press and hold Command + R. This will boot your iMac into Recovery Mode, where you can choose the 'Reinstall macOS' option to reset your iMac.

Method 3: Contact Apple Support

If the above methods don't work for you, you can always contact Apple Support for further assistance. They may require proof of ownership before helping you reset your iMac.

Remember, factory resetting your iMac will erase all data on the device, so make sure to back up any important files before proceeding.
