Control + R not working on restart?

Hi,

Trying to erase disk and reinstall OS.

When I restart my MacBook Pro in recovery, I press Control + R and nothing happens, just my normal log in screen asking for the password. If I input it is just starts as normal. Any Ideas?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14

Try starting up with Command R, not Control R.
