How to reset bios or clear cmos using just keyboard keys

Usually, when you try to clear CMOS you open the case and search for the battery, you could either remove the battery or change a jumper to clear the CMOS or bios.

However, there is a way to do this without opening the computer case:

PRESS "del" KEY WHEN YOU POWER ON THE COMPUTER if(typeof __ez_fad_position != 'undefined'){__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-tutorials_technology-medrectangle-3-0')}; This trick should work on most computers and it should clear CMOS.
