"Recovery server could not be contacted" Error Message
What does this mean? I’m trying to reinstall macOS High Sierra! Can’t get past this error message “the recovery server could not be contacted”

Solved.
In my case I was trying to do a re-install of the OS form the startup utilities and kept getting this error.
The trick was to set the clock. Start the Terminal app from utilities to get a bash terminal. Type `date` to display the current date/time. In my case it was set to January 1st. I remember it was common with Windows Update to fail to update your system if the system clock was not "close" to the correct time.
Set the date with:
date 1114125317
(this example sets the date to November 14th, 12:53 2017)
Re-run the recover OS option and it should work.
That did it for me. Thanks
I would like to do this. My MACBOOK Pro is useless since the HS update. Can you walk me through nukeing the system and installing Sierra? I am unable to install from utilities for some reason.
I tried this fix but in my terminal it said: permission denied (operation not permitted). Any chance you know what the issue is?
Thank you! Worked perfectly for me!
Thanks Jo.
Thanks APPLE

I tried this, but I'm still getting that same error message. Any other suggestions?
Thanks you! With that terminal command installing go on. Its strange, idk why now 8:35AM in Moscow, but terminal set 5... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you, I didn’t even think to look at that. Tried the whole changing date thing and wasn’t working. This did the trick, thanks heaps.
I tried it but the screen later shows a circle with a line crossing it like this🚫
Its been months now, did it work?
You are a genius Sir!
Excellent! worked for me!! thanks!
I tried all methodsI found, I went to apple and they told me its something wrong with the computer and I didn't do anything wrong. They did something and told me I wouldn't have problems anymore
