Chromebook will not boot to recovery mode

I just bought a used HP chromebook 11 ,and it will not boot into recovery mode. I hold the esc, refresh, and tap the power button but It will not go into recovery. I try it with the power on and off and still no results. Am I doing something wrong or could it just be the chromebook?
