1. Click on the Apple menu at the top left corner of the screen and select 'Restart'.
2. As the computer is restarting, hold down the 'Command' and 'R' keys simultaneously until the macOS Utilities window appears.
3. Select 'Disk Utility' from the macOS Utilities window, then click 'Continue'.
4. In Disk Utility, select your Mac's startup disk and click on the 'Erase' tab.
5. Choose the format for the disk (usually 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)'), give it a name, and click 'Erase'.
6. Once the disk is erased, quit Disk Utility and return to the macOS Utilities window. Select 'Reinstall macOS' and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the factory reset.
