There is no reconcile start date. There’s a statement date and that sets the *default* ending balance for the reconcile and gets saved as the “reconcile date” on each reconciled split. There’s also a starting balance that is the balance of all of the reconciled splits in the account.
The reconcile window won’t let you complete a reconcile if the modified reconciled balance in the reconcile window doesn’t match the number you’ entered in the reconcile information dialog. You can unreconcile splits by clicking the r in the column between account and debit (or amount if it’s a non-currency commodity register). If you haven’t quite gotten your head around debit and credit, the debit column is the left of the two value columns. So if you have a few splits from a past reconciliation whose errors net out, you can note the reconciled balance, unreconcile the erroneous splits, tell the reconcile info that the ending balance is the one that you noted before changing the splits, then edit and re-reconcile the splits with the correct values. But if the errors don’t net out and the balance you reconciled to the first time is wrong you need to unreconcile every split back to that statement and re-reconcile all of the statements in order.
