Factory resetting your device means that you will lose all the files and data that is saved on the hard drive of your device. So the most important thing you need to do before factory resetting your Mac is to back-up your important files and data so that you do not lose them. You can use external storage like USB or CDs or DVDs to back-up your data.

Now that you have saved your important data elsewhere, reboot your device and press 'Command+R'. This will open the 'Recovery' function. Select 'Recovery HD' from there.

Select the 'Continue' button.

The 'Continue' button will load the Disk Utility; the Disk Utility will show you a list of hard disks.

First click 'Macintosh HD disk'. For some Mac users, their disk might not be named as Macintosh HD. So in such a case, click on whichever disk is primary hard disk. After selecting 'Macintosh HD disk', click 'Erase' tab.

After selecting 'Erase', the next window will show you a number of disk formatting options. From those options, click on 'Mac OS Extended'. Then again select the 'Erase' button. After selecting the 'Erase' option, you have to wait patiently as this erasing process may take a few minutes.

After the completion of the erasing process, your system will take you again to 'Recovery Menu'. There in 'Recovery' menu, click on 'Reinstall OS X', and then select the 'Install' options. After clicking the install button, the reinstallation process will start right away. (Note: you must check your internet connection through the connection icon on the top-right corner of your screen, as you will need internet to download and reinstall the OS X).

After the installation process starts, a new window will appear which will ask you to carefully read their terms and conditions. After reading and accepting their terms and conditions, your system will ask you to specify a hard drive where you want to reinstall the OS X. By default, your system might choose Macintosh HD drive.

The whole reinstallation process may take 30-60 minutes. In between or after the reinstallation process, to verify your OS X purchase, your system might ask you to provide your Apple ID. Once this installation process is completed, you can find your Mac factory reset and working as a brand-new device.
