Factory Reset issue. Please Help!

I have an hand me down Macbook Air 2015 and trying to do a factory reset. I hold down Command + R however instead of prompting OS X Utilities, it prompts The Recovery Assistant asking the old user's password. Can someone explain why this is happening and How can I properly reset?
