[QUOTE="mac57, post: 580529, member: 17052"] Do you want to completely erase the machine, so that it won't even boot? If you just want to erase all your files, I would recommend creating one new completely blank user account (so you can still access the machine after the next step) and then from it, use the Accounts Preferences panel to completely remove your previous userid.
