Hi. I'm selling my MacBook Pro. I'd like to remove my name as administrator before I do. How do I go about this? Any other tips when selling a Mac?
Thanks

Just do a clean install of OSX on it.

Ok - how easy is that? Do I just put the install discs in and follow the instructions? Bearing in mind that I don't want to mess it up just before I sell it.

OK, so I've just wasted the last two hours doing a reinstall and I'm still there as the administrator. Maybe I should do an "erase and install" ?????
It's that easy.
