So after I erased the disk and reinstalled the Mac OS system, it asked for my Apple ID and password before downloading the OS X

I Used disk utility to erase the hard drive me reinstall OS X so I can give the computer away. The disk utility asked for my Apple ID and password to reinstall. The instructions say to turn on use the Q command to leave the computer with an installer for the next owner. However, does my Apple ID nd password remain in the computer?
