In a Year 2000 ready operating system, the date can be manually reset Windows NT by following the simple steps below. If you are resetting the date in a PC server or PS/2 server, you need to reset the date in a DOS stand-alone environment.
  1. Click on Start
  2. Select Programs
  3. Click on MS-DOS prompt
  4. At the prompt C:\Windows> type DATE [month]-[day]-2000 and press “ENTER”

    EXAMPLE: C:\Windows> DATE 1-1-2000
    This will synchronise all the timers in the PC.

  5. At the MS-DOS prompt, type “EXIT” and press “ENTER”

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