How do you reset (clear) the BIOS / CMOS on a Laptop?

Question

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.

sorry to tell you but there is no other way to reset the BIOS/CMOS without taking it apart.
Although there is one option that you can reset to factory defaults in the CMOS
