How to Restore a MacBook Air to Factory Settings If you ever find yourself
in a situation where you need to wipe the hard drive of your MacBook Air
and start over from scratch, take comfort in knowing that the process is
fairly simple and straightforward. Follow the steps below to return your
MacBook Air to factory settings. Just make sure you’ve backed up all
personal data prior to beginning: this process will wipe your hard drive.

Step 1

With your MacBook Air powered up, use your AC adapter to plug the computer
into an electrical outlet. Then, reset the computer. As the computer
restarts and boots back up, hold down the Command and R keys together. This
key combination will open up a utilities menu, from where you can restore
your system.

Step 2

The utilities menu will provide you with a “Wi-Fi” option. Select it,
choose your home or work network, and enter the necessary password
information to connect to the Internet. Your system will need web access to
download the necessary restore software.

Step 3

With your system connected to the Internet, you are free to go forward with
the system restore. Look for a recovery option and select it. This action
will open a menu that includes a “Reinstall OS X” option, which you should
click. Your MacBook Air will connect to the Internet, download the
necessary software, and launch the system restore. If necessary for the
download, provide your Apple login information.

These steps will get your MacBook Air to a point where the hard drive
reformats itself. Once this process is complete, you can restart your
computer. When you log back in, your system will be entirely restored to
the way it was when the computer first came out of the box!
