So I'm having some trouble. I've been having some issues with my computer so I was told to wipe my system and reinstall lion. I held down command r and erased my computer. Then I clicked "reinstall lion" and everything was going fine until they asked me for my apple ID. When I entered my ID it says that I need to log in with an account that purchased lion from the apple store. The problem is I didn't purchase lion from the app store, one of my friends gave it to me. Please spare me the lecture on how this is amoral. I'm already regretting it. So now I have an incredibly expensive brick that can't reinstall lion. The ironic thing is the reason I erased my system is because I bought mountain lion and it wasn't installing properly.
Is there a way to reinstall lion without having an apple ID that bought it from the app store?
