Press F1 to pop up a small help window that describes the appropriate keys to use

If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your
computer no longer is able to boot, the AMI BIOS supports an override to the CMOS
settings that resets your system to its defaults.
The best advice is to only alter settings that you thoroughly understand. To this end,
we strongly recommend that you avoid making any changes to the chipset defaults.
These defaults have been carefully chosen by both AMI and your systems
manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum performance and reliability. Even a
seemingly small change to the chipset setup has the potential for causing you to use
the override.
