Clearing the CMOS is usually done by shorting two pins on the motherboard using a jumper. Details of where these two pins should be found will/should be in the motherboard manual. In certain motherboard types the CMOS is cleared by keeping a designated key depressed and switching it on. In case you cannot locate the pins, CMOS can also be cleared by removing the CMOS battery.
