Hi Siri,

I have a symlink at /etc/localtime that points to my local timezone file.

You can create (for your timezone) like:

   ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Phoenix /etc/localtime

Then use:

   date 12011443
   hwclock --systohc

The format of the date command is MMDDhhmm (Month, Day, Hour, Minute). 
Replace with your correct hour and minute.
