I purchased my 27" iMac mid-2012 and it came pre-installed with the OS "Lion".
As this was around the time "Mountain Lion" was released I soon upgraded to that OS using my Apple ID.
My issue is that when I wipe my HDD and then select to reinstall the OS, it automatically wants to install Mountain Lion and nothing else and will not install unless I enter my Apple ID credentials.
If I do enter my Apple ID credentials, everything is back to factory (except it now runs Mountain Lion) but my issue is that I do not wish for my Apple ID and purchases to be handed over to the new buyer of the machine.
Once the machine is set up is there a way to remove my Apple ID from the system so that it is no longer associated with it?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
