Just about every computer keeps some information about itself internally or on the motherboard. This information includes the current time and date and a built in clock keeps it current. It does this with the help of a battery sometimes called a BIOS or CMOS battery. This battery lasts a few years but eventually will run down. The battery needs to be replaced.
The battery is on the motherboard, has a shiny silvery color, is about the size and shape of an American quarter or nickel and may be secured with a small clamp or spring. You may need a small screwdriver to carefully remove it. It should be replaced with an identical or compatible battery type. The type is inscribed on the battery. If it can't be read refer to information that came with the computer, the manufacturers web site, or just search the web for your computer model and include "CMOS battery" in the search string.
If the computer is a laptop or notebook device, accessing the battery is much more complicated and there is a greater risk of causing damage to the device. You should have a competent person take care of it.
