ipad recovery mode

I bought a used iPAD 5 on Ebay and I can't get it out of recovery mode. Previous owner said he set it to recovery mode but it keeps asking me for a six digit passcode.

Return it and get your money back. If the previous owner is unable to provide the 6 digit passcode that you need to move forward, then you are not going to be able to do anything about that. If you reset the passcode then you will have to go through the Activation Lock process and will need the previous owner’s assistance again. No need to go through the trouble. Return it.
