iPad not able to update or restore, error 4013, multiple times

My son's iPad is showing the restore screen, I plug it in to my macbook, which is running the most recent iOS, and it is unable to restore or update, error 4013. I have done this many times. I do not have another computer to try this from. Is there a button combination that can factory reset this iPad? This iPad is one with the home button.

iPad, iOS 10
