Q: Macbook Pro wiped hard drive to sell but logged in to reinstall OS X!

I'm selling my MacBook Pro from 2010. I wiped the hard drive and followed all the instructions Apple provided. I used my Apple ID to reinstall OS X so I could get the serial number off the machine. Now I've wiped it several times again but it isn't requesting my ID to reinstall the operating system, which makes me think that the machine has my Apple ID stored on it. Is there any way to completely wipe it again including this verification of the OS?

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
