There are three main ways to do a Bois factory reset, which are through the physical method, the BIOS interface settings, and the UEFI BIOS default settings. Here are the specific steps and precautions:
Method 1: Physical Methods
1.Turn off the computer and disconnect the power supply to ensure the safety of the operation.
2.Turn on your computer and find the coin cell battery on the motherboard. This battery is usually a round coin cell battery with a snap fastening.
3.Gently detach the coin cell battery and wait about 15 seconds for the battery to fully discharge. Then reinstall the battery back.
4.Plug it back in and start the computer, and the BIOS will automatically revert back to its default factory settings.
Method 2: Set it up through the BIOS interface
1.Restart the computer and press the corresponding button (such as F2, DEL, etc.) during the boot process to enter the BIOS settings interface. The specific keys may vary depending on the computer model and can be found in the prompt when the computer starts.
2.In the BIOS settings interface, use the arrow keys to navigate to the "Exit" option and select "Load Setup Defaults" or similar. This option is usually located at the bottom of the BIOS interface.
3.Once you have confirmed your selection, press enter to perform a factory reset. The system will prompt you to confirm the operation, press the enter key again.
4.Finally, select "S**e and Exit" or a similar option to save the settings and exit the BIOS interface. The computer reboots, and the new BIOS settings are applied.
Method 3: Use UEFI BIOS default settings
1.Restart the computer and press the corresponding button (e.g. F2, F10 or DEL) to enter the UEFI BIOS setup interface.
2.In the UEFI BIOS settings screen, find an icon that resembles a gear fitted with "Default Settings" underneath.
3.Select the "default settings" option and press enter to confirm.
4.Save the changes and exit the BIOS settings. The computer reboots, and the default BIOS settings apply.
It is important to note that:
1.Before doing a BIOS factory reset, it is recommended to back up important BIOS settings. Because a factory reset will erase all BIOS settings and restore them to their original state, the previous settings will be lost.
2.Be cautious when operating to avoid unnecessary losses caused by misoperation. If you're not sure how to do it, you can consult your computer's motherboard's user manual or ** for help.
3.After restoring the BIOS factory settings, you may need to reset some parameters like time, date, boot order, etc. Just set it up accordingly as needed.
In addition, the BIOS is the basic input-output system of the computer, which controls the basic hardware functions and boot process of the computer. In most cases, it is not advisable to change the BIOS settings at will unless there is a clear need and understanding of the appropriate settings. If you accidentally change the wrong settings, it can cause your computer to fail to boot or have other problems. So, be cautious and back up important settings before making any changes.
