You'll need to also use the "Reset Student Access Times" utility,  
described in the first paragraph of my previous post.

 From the inline menu select "Content Settings" from the "Settings"  
drop-down list, and then use the "Reset Student Access Times" link in  
the "Content Settings for this Course" box. Select the radio button  
for "Reset times on a single folder/map, resource or the course for a  
section or the whole class" and then you'll be able to check boxes for  
the particular students. Click the "Next" button to choose the  
specific folder for which the interval parameter controlling the timed  
quiz was set. Click "Next" then click "Save" on the subsequent page.

Note: if the due date has also passed, you will also need to change  
that. Time limits (activated by each student when he/she clicks the  
"Show Resource" button) are only available between the open date and  
the due date (if one is set) for the resource/folder.
