In summary, to change the settings in BIOS for a Tecra A2 laptop, you will need to first identify the motherboard type by doing a Google search. Once you have the motherboard information, you can determine the corresponding BIOS and which button to press to access it. This information can be found on websites such as Dealtime and Toshiba's official website. Additionally, you can refer to the laptop's manual for specific instructions, which in this case suggest pressing the F1 key to access BIOS.

Do a google search for your laptop and see which motherboard it uses. From that information you should be able to figure out which bios it uses and what button you have to press to get in.

I would try F1, F11, F12, DEL
