Oculus cannot get past setup stage - connecting to wifi

Hi, I seem to be stuck in a loop with my Oculus Quest 2: 

 

I cannot get past the wifi setup stage - I connect to my wifi network and it says "limited connection". I believe that is due to the system time on the device being wrong as the system time is something around the year 2023. I have seen this issue before. Other devices are working on the same wifi connection. 

 

As I am stuck in the setup stage, I don't think I can enable USB debugging to sideload things using developer mode either. I can't seem to find a way to correct the date / time, or get past the wifi network stage. I have tried using hotspots and other wifi networks, and it is the same issue. I am almost certain it is the system date / time that needs fixing. 

 

Does anyone have a potential fix for this? Thanks in advance!

@Gavish_Gooch  this is a wild stab in the dark, but you may be able to completely discharge and reset the headset by removing the inner faceplate and the outer faceplate, disconnecting the battery from the PCB, holding  all the buttons down to discharge any capacitors and re-connect the battery. This might work as i was recently able to set up a headset after doing this and the date would have reset to 'zero'

good luck
