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”

Get a terminal window, frome the recovery menu. The menu bar at the top, not the window dot in the middle. Then enter the date command and you should see some some old date at January 1st. My MBP has a battery problem and wasn’t plugged in for a while so the system date got reset.
To fix type
date 1016200017
which is October 16th 20:00 (or 8pm) 2017.
So mmddhhmiyy
all two digits.
After that recovery worked. Must have something to do with certificate validity or something maybe.
Same here. Now I have a very expensive paper weight.
Try that one i posted..its helped me!! Credit to owner post.
Thanks very much Jo!
This solved the problem for me.
Hey guys I fixed it my date time was correct all I had to do was connect it to my wifi.
Try check your local time on your Mac, maybe its different with Apple Servers and thats why its not working.
This works, please, anyone experiencing this error, use this fix, it works. Thank you
changign thee date worked Thanks for taking the time to share this solution
Thanks for the tip. That worked for me!
Thanks ! this worked.
Wow Apple is definitely on the downfall . They don’t even care about us and their products failing for no reason
Thanks so much - this worked for me. :-)
Make sure your machine is connected to the internet. I had to manually connect to my wireless using the network control in the top right of the screen.
I received the same message, but realized I wasn’t connected to internet. Look upper right corner to see if you are connected. Once I connected to wi fi it worked perfect.
I’m just getting command not found -.-
Well spotted, this solved my problem.
