The easiest, use the Date command - login as root and type "date MMDDhhmmYY"
month-day-hour-minute-year. You will be changing your date and time to 
what u type at the command line. Do a "man date" for more info. You can 
actually do the same from the control panel - From Time and date 
management, click on the filed (hr, min , sec) and press the up or down arroow
as required. 
hope this helps,
