I'm really not sure why doing that would cause your problem, but if this
is a desktop (and hopefully it is), with the computer off and unplugged
open the case. Remove the motherboard battery (usually a small
coin-shaped battery) and let the computer sit. Sometimes this only
takes a few hours, but you could leave it overnight. Then put the
battery back on the motherboard. The BIOS should now be set to factory
defaults.
