How do you reset (clear) the BIOS / CMOS on a Laptop?
Now mind you, I don't want to have to take the laptop apart and dig in for the CMOS / BIOS battery.
That's too much hassle.
I've heard there is way to do it from the power button somehow.
If anybody knows for sure how to achieve that, please answer. Like if you did that yourself and know the exact procedure...
Also I do not need to clear any BIOS password, so don't suggest any password recovery software.
Thanks.
Gary, and others, do I have to put everything in 1 inch high caps?
I DO NOT NEED OR WANT TO RECOVER A PASSWORD, OK?????
I just want to reset / clear the BIOS settings without having to take the laptop apart and remove the CMOS battery. And I'm not talking about the simple default settings from inside the BIOS settings options, just a hard wipe/restore. That's all.
Is there a way to do that??
