Hello Cindy T64.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. For help with erasing and reinstalling macOS on your MacBook Pro, look no further than this helpful guide:

Erase and reinstall macOS

Those steps will walk you through completely erasing your Mac, then reinstalling the macOS.

Have a good day.

I found a 3 1/2 minute video on YouTube by MasutaGaming where his video went through step by step and actually reset the MacBook Pro to the factory settings. Unbelievable how easy he made it. Apple Support needs to write down the steps and make it available because what they are showing is for the Mac and did not work for the MacBook Pro.
