How to erase and reset your Galaxy S6 (and why you'd want to)

Samsung has included some additional features to this function just in case you're doing something other than handing your Galaxy S6 off to another user.
How to erase and reset your Galaxy S6 (and why you'd want to) | Android Central

Hi,
I'm in the same boat. I have an older 13" black MacBook and bought a new 13" MacBook Pro. Your outline isnt' what I experience, yet it's similar to the Apple Article at
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1820
They have the following steps:
These steps assume you have a Mac OS X 10.2.3 or later CD:
1. Insert the Mac OS X CD.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the startup sound, press and hold the "C" key to start up from CD.
4. When the Installer screen appears, do not click Continue. Instead, choose Installer > Open Disk Utilities.
5. Select the hard drive to erase.
6. Click the Erase tab.
7. Select the volume format from the Volume Format pop-up menu.
8. Click Options.
9. Select the checkbox for "Zero all data".
10. Click OK.
11. Click Erase
I'm not sure if I'm obtaining what I want; Zero erase then reinstall. I'm using my OS X Leopard Install Disk. I did steps 1 - 3. As I held the "C" key, I got a gray screen with the Apple logo and a spinning icon below. It did this for about 3 minutes (my "c" holding finger was getting sore )
I never got a step 4. It went straight to "Choose a Language" I did: English
I never got choices 5 to 11.
I got the screen showing the drive and asking if I want to install. I continued.
I then opened the "Options" tab. There I could erase existing OS install and then reinstall. There was never a choice for "Zero All Data."
I'm currently letting it do it's thing and it's in stalling, about 26 mins to go, already been about 20 mins.
Did I miss something, or is the "zero" option not the same for Leopard?
Much thanks,
