You'll have to get on a WiFi network and hopefully have had automatic time update enabled. If that doesn't work then you'll have to hard reset.

Otherwise you have to do a Hard Reset: Power off the phone > hold Volume Down > press Power > keep holding Volume Down until you see the exclamation (!) screen, then immediately release the Volume Down

Now tap Volume Up / Volume Down / Power / Volume Down

You should see the spinning gears and your phone will reflash the last OS version held in recovery. You do loose data, but get your phone back. Sign into your Microsoft Account and restore your backup during the set up.
