How do you reset the bios?

I need to reset the bios back to default. I think the HD has died, I did go into the bios and made some changes to boot to CD, but after I saved and restarted all I get is the dell splash screen.  Any help?

I have removed the CMOS battery and left it out for a couple of minutes, then put everything back together, power it up, and all the computer does is display the Dell screen.

Dell Inspiron 15Z touchscreen Notebook.  2 years old.

    Thanks, but when it boots to the Dell splash screen there is no functionality.  I press the f2 key and I see it highlight but nothing happens after that.

    If you are under windows 8 or 8.1 you can pull the charms bar/settings/devices/restart/advanced restart feature and select to boot directly into the bios of your laptop.
