Yes. No matter what I do there, it doesn't update the clock.

I had to go into shell as root and use the date command. This is what I did:

su root
<root password>

date <time and date format as below>

Setting the system clock
To set the system clock under Linux, use the date command. As an example, to set the current time and date to July 31, 11:16pm, type ``date 07312316'' (note that the time is given in 24 hour notation). If you wanted to change the year as well, you could type ``date 073123161998''. To set the seconds as well, type ``date 07312316.30'' or ``date 073123161998.30''. To see what Linux thinks the current local time is, run date with no arguments.

Thanks for helping me.
