Check the motherboard manual to locate jumper that will allow you to clear the CMOS settings,you should note settings before making changes,if this fails conact the mahufacturer for Tech. support for assistance

Because it's pretty hard to take apart your laptop in order to reset the BIOS, here's the alternative:

Find the cmoskill.exe program in the internet=>copy it to a floppy drive (if you have boot from floppy option turned on in your BIOS - otherwise try to make a boot CD and copy the file to a boot CD)=>Boot from floppy/CD=>run the program=>REady to go
