Where are you located and what model MacBook Pro do you have?


That's only a message on machines where Internet Recovery has been enabled or was available from the factory. You need internet access to the recovery server. A lot of things could prevent that, including a poor internet connection or if you don't select a good connection. My preference is to use a wired ethernet connection.
