Im selling my macbook..how do you delete the adminstrator account

im selling my macbook and i need help deleting my adminstrator account how do i do that?

hold c and boot off the installer disk that came with the computer or snow leopard install disk, under the installer menu is disk utility,
select your drive and erase with zero option, format hfs+ journaled
let it rip for a hour or so, then quit and in the installer install os x and when finished,
shutdown and when the next time it boots it will have the welcome to mac video and everything for the next user.
you shoudl get all your files off first, you did right?

  • How do you delete the ICloud account on a IPhone 6

    I want to change my ICloud ID but IPHONE 6 has no option for deleting ICloud account, is there another option?

    Here's how I did it:
    Settings> Mail, Contacts, Calendars> iCloud (this had the email account that kept coming up in iCloud)
    Tap on "Sign Out"
    You will be given the opportunity to delete the account .... do it
    Now go back to iCloud and you should be presented with a screen to login to your iCloud account. It will create an iCloud email account for you.

  • How do you delete an itunes account when you don't have the password.

    My partner's itunes account was hacked. She cannot get into it.  Neither her id nor her password work.  Apple has said they will put a "hold" on the account, but this renders itunes useless and it seems you can't start a new (second) itunes account on the same iPad/iPhone/iPod.  How can you delete the itunes account altogether so that she can start a new one? 

    I assume you're using an iOS and not an OSX device here. If not, then let me know.
    Go to Settings>Scroll down to iTunes and App Stores>Click Apple ID>Click Sign Out
    Then, create a new account on the web and sign in
    I hope this works

    The same way you put them on the phone. Connect the phone to iTunes on your computer, click on the name of the iPhone, then the Photo tab. Uncheck the albums you don't want on the phone and click Sync.

    Delete the credit card information from the account and let it go dormant or you can contact iTunes through the expresslane and have them disable the account. To change your itunes and iphone over to a different account, first go to appleid.apple.com and create a new account then sign out of itunes on your computer and sign back in using the new account. Then, sign out of you phone's stored apple ID and sign in with your new apple ID.(Settings>Store>Tap your apple ID and choose "sign out".

  • How do you delete the contacts from "All on My Mac"

    How do you delete the contacts from "All on My Mac"? i have moved everything to iCloud and want to delete the contacts on my mac. 

    Signing out will not delete them from iCloud. Do it and read the message. It will give you the option to store address book contacts locally or just in iCloud. It will tell you that they will be available in iCloud when you sign back in.
    In Addition, signing your mac out of iCloud does not sign your other devices out of iCloud. Any info in iCloud will still be available to other devices.
    You can also access iCloud from the website https://www.icloud.com , which you can access from any computer at any time.

  • On my iPad I have a working icloud that I have complete access to, but on my iPhone it keeps asking me for the password for it, but I do not know it! And the email that I used is not activated anymore! How do I delete the icloud account on my phone?

    On my iPad I have a working icloud that I have complete access to, but on my iPhone it keeps asking me for the password for it, but I do not know it! And the email that I used is not activated anymore! How do I delete the icloud account on my phone?

    Hi Aurion23,
    If you intend to keep using iCloud on your iPad, your best course of action would be to update your Apple ID/iCloud information so that you have a known password and it is associated with an active email address. You may find the following articles helpful:

    You can't delete an account, you can only stop using it.  If you're getting that error message you won't be able to create a new account on your device.  Your only options are to re-use one of the accounts previously created, or create a new account on a different iOS device or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher), if you have one.
