In a Year 2000 ready operating system, the date can be manually reset in OS/2 WARP version 4 by following these simple steps:
  1. Double click on OS/2 System
  2. Double click on Command Prompts
  3. At the prompt C:\> type DATE [month]-[day]-2000 and press “ENTER”
    EXAMPLE: C:\> DATE 1-1-2000
    This will synchronise all the timers in the PC.
  4. At the C:\> prompt, type “EXIT” and press “ENTER”
    This will return you to OS/2.

This procedure must be done ON or AFTER January 1, 2000 and needs to be performed only once.
