Well the only way is to wipe out the bios's setting by either removing the
battery for a while and putting it back into place, or some mother boards
have special switch or jumper to erase the settings in the BIOS and change
them to default parameters...

You will have to resort to the above methods when the computer is refusing
to even startup, say after you increased the clock speed using the BIOS to
some unaceptably high value...
