The date is hidden when the cursor is placed over the clock in the task bar.
Placing the cursor over the task bar does not result in the double headed
arrow so I cannot unlock the task bar

Try: Right click taskbar, click Properties. Uncheck "Keep the taskbar on top.....", click Apply, Recheck "Keep........" click Apply > Ok.
To lock unlock the taskbar, Right click the taskbar and check/uncheck "Lock the taskbar".
