No. That would bee 00:45. The day begins at midnight with 00:00.

In a sense, Emmanuel is correct if you think of 2400 as midnight; adding 45 minutes to that number would make "2445 hrs", which would be a quarter to one in the am. However in standard parlance, the term is incorrect. The correct answer using 'military time' (the 24 hour clock) is 0045 hrs.
