If you can get into the BIOS screens you need to select the option (if there) to set to defaults. If not then there's no simple way to clear the BIOS ROM on a laptop short of disassembly.

You could use a flash drive and second computer. It is a lot of work, as you have to set up the flash drive to boot from an install the BiOS imaging files and such. Once you've done that, you can plug the Flash drive into a USB port and boot to that. You will also need the commands to enter when it boots, and then it sould reflash the BiOS. As was stated, it isn't simple. I am getting ready to undertake that myself in order to unlock the BiOS in this thing.
