If you don’t have an onboard display to plug into, open your PC, pull the CMOS battery for 30s, and plug it back in. This will reset all your settings to factory defaults.

Many fancy motherboards have a button to reset these settings as well. Often the bios settings are referred to as CMOS settings as well.

Yeah, but it’s almost pointless to give an “if, then, elsif, elsif” scenario if just removing the battery does the same thing, and all motherboards have a battery for the CMOS.

the batteries are being soldered onto the motherboard now-a-days

Never seen that, and I build with hundreds of variants from all the big manufacturers. Haven’t seen that once in a PC, Laptop, or SFF.

i last saw it the last time i was a system admin tasked w spec-ing out hardware for our offices in austin, ft. lauderdale, denver, and inland empire and i remember being surprised at how much worse they were than the thinkpads i had grown accustomed to supporting as front line tech in mountain view 10 years before that.

and now w that in mind: it would have been circa 2015 so the landscape should have changed by now; maybe they reversed course like they did the rubycon capacitors that caused the capacitor plague 15ish years ago.
