In this video I explain how to completely erase a Mac, removing all data, passwords, icloud, and activation lock, in preparation for selling it, or giving it away as a gift. This process removed all of your files so be sure to have a backup before doing this.

This method works on all Macs with Apple Silicon, or Intel Macs with a T2 chip.
