Ambient Occlusion Pass is fully white

I followed this tutorial:

I spent 2 hours looking for answers but I haven't found any solutions. I messed around with the max distance but it didn't help. This is what it looks like when I render the UVW Unwrap eqwoqln.png?1

and this is what it looks like when I render it normally r8EpwDn.png?1

.

EDIT: I FINALLY FIXED IT! I went back to the very first link I opened on the question after I decided to give up searching. I guess I skipped what some guy said about FG because I didn't know what it was and didn't think I had it on. Well, apparently FG stands for Final Gather and I did have it on. After turning it off it finally worked! This is what it looks like now f86rptD.png?1?9212

ao works by casting multiple rays in a hemisphere and seeing how many hit the sky (white) or hit the surface of the model (black), your model dosen't have many surfaces that occlude other surfaces from the sky. Try adding a floor and see what happens.

Thank you for your answer, but that wasn't it. I just had to turn off FG.

Spoke too soon. Now when I open it in photoshop it comes out black and white.
