To reset CMOS/ BIOS on a compaq PC

Found this note in old service manual:
If CMOS/BIOS gets hosed (even if can't see screen )
1. Press " Fn + Power On " at same time.
2. Tap Fn+F11 a few times
3. Memory counts up, disk seeks and generates "Error 162 - Options not set
"
4. Press F1 which saves changes and now BIOS is set back to factory
default.
Hello Bobb,
thanks very much for your note. I do have a Presario computer or two which
would need their CMOS/BIOS restored. But my PC keyboards don't have a Fn
key. Is there another key that can be subsistuted? Or do you have another
recipe for PCs?
Thank you very much in advance.
