    It worked thank you! If you encounter the problem that I did with signing into the apple store and it tells you it is temporarily unavailable: Click the apple logo in the top left corner of the screen, click restart, it will restart and say internet recovery and may make u sign into your internet connection again. Once the internet recovery is done loading, the utilities menu will pop back up and you can continue where you left off. I had to go through that and when I went to "Reinstall OS X" again, I was able to reinstall the original osx that came with it which was Mountain Lion and i was able to successfully sign into the apple store. So if you first encounter a problem with signing into the apple store with your apple ID and password and you know for sure you are typing the correct ID and password just restart the machine and you should be fine after restarting your mac. Hope this info helps someone because I was freaking out at first lol.
