There's usually a jumper right next to the battery or BIOS chip which will clear your CMOS. We don't know what motherboard you have.

Sometimes you can simply hold CTRL+HOME simultaneously to clear CMOS while booting your PC (or CTRL+END or CTRL+INSERT).

Another way is to unplug your system, remove the battery, short the connectors and hit the Power On button a few times. Then replace the battery, replug your system, and turn it on. The Clear CMOS jumper avoids having to do all of this.
