I've wiped out my computer and am attempting to reinstall macOS as the final step of the process to trade in my Macbook Air; however, I get the "untrusted_cert_title" error and am unable to proceed. I've tried updating the date command per instructions I've found online, but continue to receive errors. Any tips? Thank you!

1Welcome to Ask Different. Are you following Apple support on how to erase a Mac from recovery boot and reinstall? If so, please edit that KB in your question. If you are following some other documented procedure - perhaps showing that will help us help you. It sounds like you did some research - be sure to show your research on the body of the question : - )– bmike ♦Jan 5, 2019 at 16:38

You don't execute MMDDHHMMYY
. You replace all those characters with the current date information.
If we were performing/entering this command in Terminal right now, since it is 16:14 for me on 05/01/18, we would enter the following command: date 0105161418
and then hit "enter/return".
01 - 05/01/18
05 - 05/01/18
16 - 16:14
14 - 16:14
18 - 2018

I can't believe it didn't occur to me to plug in the actual values. That did it. Thank you so much!– JenJan 5, 2019 at 23:00
