[@JeremyJames-p9r]

This Code only worked Perfect for me didnt Even Had to restart the mac worked on imac mid 2011

@@JeremyJames-p9r not necessarily to restart it's just an option to make it work

My pleasure man Glad i was able to help you

[@syedbukhari2558]

Guys when you reboot your Mac, simultaneously hold down these keys Command + Option + R (not just Apple/Command + R). In the 'Reinstalling MacOS' field, it will offer you Ventura. If you only hold down 'Command + R,' the system takes you to an older recovery setup offering older OS like High Sierra, which Apple no longer supports. That's why you get the message: 'Recovery Server Could Not Be Contacted.' So all that changing the time stuff won't help. Good luck 😊
