There are two ways this can be done. Some motherboards have a jumper for
just this purpose. You put the jumper on and it shorts the BIOS. Leave it
on for 15 to 30 seconds. Take if off and the BIOS should be back at
defaults. Then you boot off a floppy immediately enter the BIOS....select
Load Defaults...SAVE ...and exit reboot to floppy. Finally you reboot ..go
into the BIOS and set things up correctly.

If you do not have the Jumper pull out the round disk Lithium Battery...
Take the spring holder and touch it to the other side of the battery
holder....metal against metal. This will short the BIOS. Hold it there for
15 to 30 seconds and then proceed as above.

Good Luck!
