iPad recovery mode error - unable to restore

In trying to restore the software after my sister in-law forgot her password, the iPad has given the message:

"could not be restored . an unknown error occurred (10) 06B4.0000

Can anyone advise for a 5 year old iPad Model A2197

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 18

4042 ipad10 generation solving it (iPad not available ) I encountered a restoration issue with my iPad after my kids changed the password and forgot it. I couldn't restore it through iTunes and other apps, as it showed error 4042. Then, I tried other way than dfu mode which hard reset by pressing all buttons, then updating it and restoring it through iTunes. If it doesn't work, try again without updating, only select restore, and then it's going to work.

I tried recovery mode but it only flashes and then reboots to the Apple screen. Has anyone seen this before and head luck restoring the iPad?
