DATE -TIME RESET??

What seems to be the problem with the date and time?

If you want to change the date and time settings, then you can click on the time on the bottom right corner of your screen. There you can change the time and date settings.
Or if date and time are always changing whatever you do then you would need to change the CMOS battery of your computer.

How do I set the date in the right corner of my computer screen

Hello,
Just double click the clock on the lower right corner of your screen. It will give you the option to edit the date and time of your machine. If it prevents you from changing the date, that means you need an administrator account to edit the date.
