  That hasn’t worked on any (good) machine for the last 20 years. Especially now in the EFI age any important settings like that are stored in nvram.

    Maybe you can check the manual if the laptop has a CMOS battery. If it does, you’ll have to take apart the laptop to remove the battery for a few minutes, which will reset all the settings.

        Motherboards used to have a jumper pin to erase bios passwords and reset bios to default. Doubtful that a modern laptop has these, but worth a look.
