Imac - how to restore to factory settings

[THE_Incredible_Hulk]

So the medicaid people say Mom's IMac must go. I'm a windows guy. Don't know much of anything about IMac's. How does one restore it to factory settings? It was purchased in late 2019. Appreciate the help. Bonus points if you're in Kansas City and want to come do this for a reasonable fee.

been on a mac since 1989; this is pretty easy:

pretty easy, Boot in internet recovery mode (command+R at startup), use disk utility to wipe the drive and then reinstall the os (all options in the recovery mode menu)

Thank you, both. I'll give that a shot.

Some candles, a Ouija board, and some people to invoke Steve Jobs ghost via a seance would be helpful.

A high speed missile of full jacketed lead should do things for it as well.

I don't think the medicaid people would like that. They sometimes remind me of the soup nazi from Seinfeld.
