Default CMOS bad ? factory default settings

For compaq PC's, I found this note I wrote in an old Service QRG ( from
2001):
1. Hold Fn key and power up.
2. Tap Fn+F11 quickly
3. mem counts up
4. disk seeks
5. Then get " Error 162" ( this normal)
6. Press F1 to "Save Changes" - now back to factory default settings

Might still work on current pc's ??
