[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1521909, member: 110816"] The way to get the MBP back to the new Mac experience is to do a clean re-install of OS X. Since you have Mountain Lion installed on here, hold down CMD+r while powering up the Mac. This will put you into the recovery console, from here you can use Disk Utility to erase the contents of the HD (avoid the recovery partition) and do a re-install over the Internet. Once the installation finishes, power off the Mac and leave it alone. Once sold and turned on, the new owner will get the welcome video and will be able to set it up as their own.. [/QUOTE]
