Everytime I open computer it has reset the date for 12004 and must be manually changed before I can use the computer. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

There is a small internal battery that maintains the date and time when the
computer is not powered on. If the time/date is wrong every time you turn
the computer on, then that battery needs to be replaced. Consult your owner
manual for more details.
 
Hi Sherry,

Your CMOS battery is probably dying and needs to be replaced.
