I accidentally deleted my entire Mac hard drive when on Mountain Lion DP2, so when I restarted my Mac, it brought me to these tools shown in the picture. I did this for my other Mac, however the tools showed me that I could restore to Mac OS X Lion.

For this Mac, it told me I could only restore to OS X Mountain Lion DP2. I was in a hurry to restore my Mac, so I thought "Whatever", and I pressed continue to restore Mountain Lion, and I entered my Apple ID credentials, but then it told me that I had to use an account that had purchased Mac OS X Lion.

I did purchase Mac OS X Lion with that Apple ID, but it just wouldn't accept it. I'm really stuck and confused, and I really need help.
