Boot into Internet Recovery Mode (Command + Option + R) and use Disk Utility to erase the whole physical drive using these instructions:

ok, i ask this because this notebook was given to me and it came with the original disk, the person that owned this is no longer around. Is there a way to rebuild this box without the Apple ID and if not would I need to contact Apple directly?
Hi,
You should format your drive with Mac OS Extended(Journals) since Lion doesn't support APFS drive.
