Waiting is tough. Can I just change the time/date using the console?

The Wiki doesn't seem to have anything listed for it, but you can use:
set timescale to #
Where # is the rate at which time passes. 20 is default, 1 is realtime. You can set it to get to the hour you want then set it back.
Edit: It should be noted that setting timescale
to either 1 or 0 has been known to cause issues. 2 seems to be the lowest safe value. At 0, fast traveling causes load issues, and at 1 there can be delays in AI processing. Both, however, have the effect of 1 minute real = 1 minute skyrim
or 1 minute real = 0 minute skyrim
.

@Iszi Updated with an answer to that question. In short, it causes a lot of issues. Feb 12, 2012 at 22:31

Thank for the answer :) Will these issues continue to be a bother once I revert the time scale to default? Or will changing the time scale once have a cascading effect for the rest of my character's life? Feb 13, 2012 at 2:49

Should be only as long as you have it changed. That seems to be what all the posts have been saying at least. Feb 13, 2012 at 2:53

Thank you Ktash - now I type
set timescale to 12000
, watch as the sun rises and sets rapidly twice, revert toset timescale to 20
, and walk in to see that merchants have their inventory reset :) Feb 13, 2012 at 9:03
set gamehour to #
I like to use "set gamehour to 10" and then wait 1 hour, all the stores are then open.
Or this maybe this was what your where looking for:
Console command: sgtm <#>
Source: elderscrolls.wikia.com
Console return value/text : "Global Time Multiplier >> #". # is at least double (variable type).
