Q: My Apple TV stuck on setting date and time but I don't have a remote. What should I do?

I first got my Apple TV 2nd generation about a year and a half ago. I promptly lost the remote to it and I have torn the house apart trying to find it but I haven't had any luck. I have since used my Apple devices as a Remote using the app. However, we got our private WiFi changed and when I turn on my Apple TV it says Setting Date and Time forever because it cannot connect to any Internet source. There is no way for me to exit this because my Apple devices are not connected to the same WiFi. What should I do?

    any apple remote will work

    somebody elses appletv or mac computer remote you borrowed would work

    if you bought a new remote it would work

     

    some programmable remotes such as my logitech harmony acts as a replacement remote for my appletv too so that could be another option
