Take the battery (round, silver, looks like a large watch battery) out of your motherboard, leave it out for a minute or two, back in, bios settings will be cleared.

Or, your motherboard might have a button on it to clear cmos, try holding that for a few seconds to clear all cmos settings.

do as LDee says because some computers still have power going thru it after windows shuts off the pc.
