Newt doesn't set clock at boot, no way to force it. #46

Just got a new Newt. Powered it up, set the Wifi, got into the dreaded loop. Figured out how to reset it and upgrade the firmware. (Would be helpful if the RESET button was called out on the image in the wiki!)

Everything seems to work except that the time isn't set properly - it's Sunday, Jan 1, 00:15 right now. Can't seem to find any way to diagnose or force a resync or inspect which server it is meant to use.

Well, I hit RESET, which caused it to start all over, and now it set the clock. So ... success, but not entirely satisfying somehow :-)

@kantarjiev thanks for the feedback; I'm getting my head around how to fix both the "loop of death" and the "didn't set the clock correctly" issue. I'll leave this issue open for the clock reset, and I'll create two new issues - one for the looping issue, the other for updating the documentation to identify the reset button. Thanks so much for your feedback and your support of Newt.
