Your Apple ID password is not the same as the OS X user password you need to make changes such as installing software. If you've lost track of your OS X password:

1. Turn off your Mac (choose Apple > Shut Down).
2. Press the power button while holding down Command-R. The Mac will boot into Recovery mode. ...
3. Select Disk Utility and press Continue.
4. Choose Utilities > Terminal.
5. Enter resetpassword (all one word, lowercase letters) and press Return.

As soon as i got the MBP it downloaded El Capitan.I set up the ID/Pass on that OS.

OP: Try logging to the Apple ID login web page to see if it works (to see if it only a problem with the App Store and your Apple ID works with the web page);
