Is there any ntp command for windows ?. The built in internet time sync in windows wont work if the system time difference is huge (like years) from actual time. My laptop is manufactured in 2004 so the time defaults to July 2004 if the bios battery runs out of charge.
Usually i dont care what time my laptop keeps, but the websites that requires user accounts wont login properly if the system time is wrong, i didnt know that websites really cares about my system time. Is there anyway to bypass this ?

grab-account
GRAB-ACCOUNT(8) chiark utilities GRAB-ACCOUNT(8)
NAME
grab-account - add new account synchronised to remote system
SYNOPSIS
grab-account local-user source [remote-user]
DESCRIPTION
grab-account reconfigures sync-accounts to start synchronising a specified local user (which may not yet exist) from a specified remote
system, and then invokes sync-accounts once to synchronise from that source.
/etc/sync-accounts/createuser should contain a addhere line in the appropriate source section (ie, after host source). grab-account adds a
user local-user [remote=remote-user]
directive just before addhere and runs sync-accounts source.
EXIT STATUS
0 All went well.
any other
There were problems.
FILES
/etc/sync-accounts; See also sync-accounts(8).
ENVIRONMENT
See sync-accounts(8).
BUGS
There is no locking of /etc/sync-accounts so do not invoke grab-account from a script, or more than once at a time by hand. Do not edit
/etc/sync-accounts by hand and also simultaneously run grab-account.
The mechanism involving addhere is suboptimal. This should be done with an include feature in sync-accounts, so that grab-account does not
have to edit a configuration file that really belongs to the sysadmin.
