trying to reinstall os x lion but my hardrive is locked

i am forced to reinstall os x lion as my harddrive or mac has an issue.

my mac is not booting correctly so i do it in the save-mode (i speak german so i dont know the right term for it in english (however pressing alt+cmd+r+ turn on button). i can see that my HD is locked and i cant select it when i want to reinstall mac os xlion. in 'disk utility' i varified and repaired the disk and the message in SMART says verified, unfortunately i cant hit 'enable journaling' as its unclickable. please help me i need my files and i know they are there, ps. sorry i dont speak the mac-tech language, even if i used all this terms above, so please write as easy as possible :D

Enter your administrative user password to unlock the disk. Do not upgrade to El Capitan yet as the Disk Utility on that version will not do the job.

hi there, i went to the appel store, what they did was saving my documents (some or the most important ones got lost) to en external harddrive by creating two partitions, one for the backup and one for the system, through the new system i could drag and drop by data onto the external hd. then they set it up all new from scratch, i have my data now, but all aps and softwares are lost...well $@$* happens and inreally learned my lesson about backups!
