Hello everyone I’m trying to Factory reset because I forgot my password and Apple ID, I already completed the steps of command+R to open Disk utility, but instead of Macintosh HD it shows TALSPACE I don’t want to erase the wrong file or something. Here is the picture what I have on the disk utility

Select the physical drive to erase. Sometimes Disk Utility will give an error. Try erasing it again. You can also click on the volume "Talspace" and click the "Unmount" button. Once unmounted, select the physical drive "1TB ST1000xxxx" to erase.
For Intel Macs I always recommend erasing the whole physical drive anyway.
Edit: When posting pictures, please make sure to rotate them so they appear in the correct orientation. It is annoying having to read a sideways picture. It is easy to rotate a picture on an iPhone/iPad by using the directions in the following Apple article (I'm sure Android devices have a similar option):
Crop, rotate, flip, or straighten photos and videos on iPhone - Apple Support

That's the volume name and doesn't make any difference in the process; Macintosh HD is just the default one. Proceed normally.

That’s when I tried to erase Talspace

Now that I tried different things, I know the problem is “Disk erase failure, couldn’t unmount disk”
