Windows 10: How to Change Date and time when windows won't let you.

I cannot change the Date/Time or Time zones, this PC has recently been restored. It is stuck in California time and I cannot get it to change. At this point I can not log in the Microsoft account to use administrator privileges, my poor internet may be to blame. I have always had trouble doing anything connection related with Microsoft products.

:)

 

Date and Time Year is 3015 and can't change to 2015.
