How can I reset my Macbook Pro without reinstallation disk?
I bought a Macbook Pro opportunity, but the seller has not provided the recovery disc. How can I reset my system? Can I change the apple ID and continue working?
Hi Paul, you can't edit the Apple ID and keep working, because the Mac is always on with Apple ID from the previous owner, which means, you will not be able to download updates, or to do something that requires an Apple ID.
The original owner should have wiped the hard drive and reinstalled the OS X.
What to do before you sell or give away your Mac - Apple Support
You must erase the disc, or you will be forever stuck with his Apple ID and cannot upgrade, enter your Mac or use other features. Back up your data first. then follow the steps in this topic to Apple Support under "wipe your hard drive and reinstall OS X. It will be re - install the original operating system and you will upgrade to the latest operating system.

transfer files to a Macbook Pro
Please bear with me. I'm not fine with a PC. I transferred my files from my Windows Vista PC to my new Macbook Pro lap top about a year using the Windows Wizard. The transfer was successful, however, I have not used my new Macbook Pro. I don't know, a mistake on my part I continued using my Windows PC. Now, a year later, my Windows PC is on its last leg and I want to start using my Macbook Pro 'new '. The question I have is, can I use the Windows wizard again to transfer files, I added to my Windows PC since my last file transfer to my Macbook Pro a year ago?
A friend told me that I should consider resetting my Macbook Pro back to factory settings and then start the transfer of Windows as a new transfer. Should I do this? Can I use the Windows Easy Transfer Wizard again to transfer my files and does not duplicate files that have already been transferred? As you can tell, I am lost and need help. Thank you for your help.
I use a USB flash drive or a backup hard drive to the "exfat" format, which can be read by Microsoft windows and OS - X.
I copy all my files on the backup disk.
This way I will always have a copy of my files on a storage disk that I can use with my Mac or PC.
That way if I ever need to do a reinstall on my Mac or my PC I always get my files from a backup flash drive.
Or better yet, just use a USB fixed your PC/Mac to the format exfat as disk storage for all your personal files.
I use this one.

MacBook pro restore to factory settings
I have a Macbook Pro El Capitan 10.11.3 running late 2011. It's a 13 ", processor 2.4 GHz, Intel Core 15. Has 4 GB of memory. Intel HD Graphics 3000, 384 MB. I got water on it and it wouldn't start so I bought a new Macbook Pro. I removed the back and let it dry, and after several months, it works again. Now, I would use it for guests at the House of the Lake and as a return for me. I want to return to the factory settings, but then set up again for my use. I see some suggestions for people who are to sell or give their laptops, but I want to keep mine and didn't know if I would be able to set up using my same Apple ID, etc.
Yes, you will be. Since you keep the computer, you can restart it with the command and R keys, erase the existing system and install a new.
