if by setup you mean ya bios
clear cmos on the motherboard by removing the motherboard battery for a few
minutes or
shorting out the clear cmos jumpers which is 3 pins usually very near to the
battery
there will be a shorting pin on 2 of them
move it to the right or left for a few mins then put it back
