try f2 or f10... sometimes, it will show as the computer is booting up. Some computers have even used "esc" key. You may just hit all the F-keys while it first starts to boot up.

How depends on what brand computer/motherboard/BIOS you have.

Every computer has a different way to enter it, but your desktop itself will tell you to hit FXX to enter setup.
