A guide will popup asking you adjust your date back in time.


Tap Settings on your Springboard then choose the General menu.


Select Date & Time from the General menu then tap the Set Automatically switch to turn it to the OFF position.


Press the date and time that appears and scroll to move the date back to June 1st, 2014.
