HI Yes a total reset back to factory dfaults is very possible even with no sight.
I’m totally blind also and have done this many many times now. Two ways you can do this but I’ll give you the simplist of them Turn your machine off completely so it’s powered totally off Then with your left hand hold down the command Key and the letter R keys att the same time. Then while holding those keys and keep holding them press the power button to turn the machine back on Keep holding the command and r keys for approx. 20 seconds to be safe. Then once that time is up let the keys go and just wait for approx. 1 minute more. Then turn voiceover back on using the Command f5 key press, Note vo will talk to you in a very basic sounding voice but that is to be expected. Once vo is speaking you will either have the select the default language option which you pick your default for or you will have the OSX utilities, Either way you are after the utilities, Once you have the utilities up you scrole down and pick disk utilities >From this find the list of available drives and find the drive at the very top >of the list, Please note this will be the physical device DON’T do anything to this! Arrow down once to the volume below the physical drive Possibly this is called Macintosh HD” Either way you want the volume not the physical device, Once on this volume do a command shift and E which will eraise the drive. Ensure you have it selected as Mac os extended journaled And GUID partition Once the eraise is done close out of disk utilities to go back to the OSX utilities and select the option to install ore reinstall the mac os which from memory is 2 up from disk utility but make sure of that don’t just take my word. Once you’ve got that click continue and the installation wil be started from scratch. VO will keep speaking for you while you do this installation until the machine restarts in which you can restart vo again with command f5 Hope this helps and good luck with it, We’re always here to assist if you ned it.
