Hi, Hilalfromznz !


In the Terminal window, you will type the following command, followed by pressing return :


date 0101120019


The convention is as follows:


The first two numbers = month

Numbers three and four = day

Numbers five through eight = time (in 24 hour format, e.g. two in the afternoon is 14:00)

Numbers nine and ten = year.


I hope this helps you, and good luck !
