or you can simply change the position of the jumper.

that will reset the BIOS settings to the factory default.

the picture bellow shows the CMOS battery and the reseting jumper next to it.

change the position of the jumper to reset the CMOS to default.

the position of the CMOS jumper can vary from motherboard to motherboard but it is always in the close vicinity of the battery.

it is fairly simple task to perform.

read the explanation bellow the picture.



2) CMOS Reset Jumpers

Many motherboards have jumpers on them purposefully for clearing the CMOS. This jumper will need to be activated, the PC turned on. Then the PC must be turned off again and the jumper put back into it's original position so that the CMOS can be edited again. If the jumper is not replaced, then the CMOS will be cleared every time you turn the PC on. But, if you do not have this jumper, dont worry, there are more methods available.

3) The Battery (Safe and Slow)

This CMOS battery is the huge disk shaped object in your motherboard. Power down your PC completely and disconnect it from the wall and remove the ATX Motherboard power connector. Then, just carefully remove the battery and leave it to one side for about 30 minutes. After this time period, replace the battery and plug everything in again. The CMOS would have powered down and all the records would have been lost, meaning that everything is now back to the default settings.
