Restore Imac - Macbook (Recovery HD) (10.7-10.10) (Restore Mac OSX From ANY Software Issue - Crash)

This video explains how to restore a Mac OSX computer if it crashes, gets a virus, or you forget the password. For this method to work, the computer must be running at least OSX 10.7 Lion. The computer I show this on is running Mac OSX 10.8.4 Mountain Lion. If the computer you are working on has either Firevault or a firmware password set, this will not work.

Hope you all enjoy the video :-D

hello world this is what's up to 90 here
and today i'm going to show you how to
how to get back into your mac if you
can't beat in the normal operating
system for whatever reason you you know
you compete the operating system crash
you got a virus or you forgot your
password
what-whatever and also show you how to
restore your back from a backup now for
this method to work the computer board
working on has to be running at least
mac OS x lion 10.7 lion and also i'm
gonna go ahead and let you know that
this will not work if the computer
you're working on has a very firm where
password or firewall setup on it
so what's your first things first the
computer needs to be turned off so yeah
they're trying to shut it down in bed so
yeah the computer obviously asked Howard
and then what you're going to want to do
is a when you go to start back up you
know started up and then right as you
press the chime you want to hold the Alt
+ option alt or option button to button
you'll get a list that looks like this
you can also hold the I believe command
and our keys but i just chose it to do
the Alton option key kit because i'm
trying all my phone
the difference being that the command in
our keys will do you right into recovery
HD where is you press alt an option
the computer will show all the drive
that it drives that are concurrently bid
from so yeah just use the Americas to go
to recovery ate every HD or might say
something more like this and then you're
going to want to press Enter
it's going to give it a minute startup
and
strolling is being slow right now and
you'll come to a screen that looks like
this now here you have several options
you can't from here you can restore your
computer from a backup it's like if you
back to computer recently you can plug
your act you can plug your a backup
drive in and you know just follow these
steps to restore your computer to the
back from the back up and then it all
automatic then all of you go back to
that state you can and reinstall OSX now
for this you have to be connected to the
internet and you have to type 2 type in
the email address and password for AI
4am apple account that was used to
purchase the up whatever version of OSX
running but basically what this will do
is it will connect to a poor anymore
reinstall whatever version of OSX you
have on your computer so this is useful
for you know if your computer got a
virus and somehow your operating system
got corrupted there's stuff like that so
yeah i'm just gonna click cancel you can
access safari from here now I'm going to
be honest about this i believe all the
plugins are disabled so you try to
browse any any websites that require
flash or java or whatever you it won't
work so I'm yeah you can sort of look up
instructions are you know so far
automatically kind of load this page
where you can look up instructions on
everything you need to know you can pick
using cover HD and he can also do google
search by normal google search in safari
then scope with sorry and you can also
act says the disk utility from here so
like you can
trying to try in that repair the disk
and it'll try and see what's wrong with
it
you can also you erase the hard drive
which will block out everything on the
computer it will erase all the files it
will delete the operating system tail so
it's basically just going to nuke the
entire computer you can try to do some
other things tail but those are beside
the basic matter so yeah and you can
also do other things to such as turn the
firmware Pettitte the firmware password
and let's check out network utility you
can you can sort of analyze your
internet connection
I'm just showing you this command will
show the whole recovery HD but that you
can also reset any user password from
here so like if you just forgot your
password you can do that you just go
utilities terminal then you type is the
way sorry Lee set S word and then this
window will come up and you and select
macintosh HD and this right here should
give you a list of users so I'm going to
reset the password of this test user to
1234
I'm just gonna do this then i'm going to
type 1234 1234 and you can enter your
password hint if you want then just
click Save and then this message will
pop up so that's actually about it for
this video
one thing I forgot to mention is that
each time you open
app in that recovery HD have to go up
here and quit the app otherwise we'll
just get this grey screen trying to do
that so I'm also if you use this to like
hockey friends computer or somebody
else's computer or anything like that
I am NOT responsible and Matt that's
about it
this is what's the 290 and i'm signing
off have a nice day
