How to enter bios without keyboard

Go to solution Solved by rjfaber91,

Good to hear you managed to work it out, but should you ever run into such a situation again, here are the three ways to reset the BIOS, in order of convenience:

 

1. Press the Reset CMOS button. Not all motherboards have such a button, so this won't always be an option.

2. Change the setting on the Reset CMOS jumper. Pretty much all motherboards have a jumper to reset the CMOS, even motherboards that also have a switch. Always consult the manual on exactly how to do this.

3. Remove the motherboard battery, leave it out for a few seconds, and put it back in.

I was choosing some boot functions in BIOS but now my keyboard does not work straight away in boot up so I cannot use it to boot in bios such as pressing F2 or DEL or whatever. Is there a way to enter/reset BIOS?

Resetting the CMOS. What motherboard do you have? There is multiple ways to do this, depending on your motherboard.

Assuming you have a Windows OS with UEFI installed you can get into it from the OS

Directly below your top PCI-E slot, you should see what looks like a watch battery. While your PC is powered down entirely, remove this battery for about a minute or so. Re-insert it, and power your PC back on. This should reset your BIOS, and enable functionality with your keyboard again.
