looks like it is stuck in 1970 or so, according the number of minutes in the image

Edit: 1972 to be exact

I wonder if you created a network with an SSID and password that matched the original if it would pick it up and update the date? This is what I did with my TV when I lost the remote, so I could add a phone as a remote.

That’s pretty clever. I actually really enjoy hacks like these that you have to use to get other people’s technology to do what you want in a way the original creator never intended.

After reboot, all iDevice SSIDs and passwords are encrypted with the device passcode.

This means the iPad can't automatically connect to known networks until the passcode is entered.

Is this true for all versions? If it's a 2nd or 3rd hand-me-down iPad as stated, chances are it's on a lower version.

I forgot that this was even a feature.
