Can't get into BIOS on my laptop

Forum Motherboards & Memory : Chipsets & Bios Can't get into BIOS on my laptop

It's super strange, I just can't enter the bios on my Toshiba Satellite C660.
I've tried pressing F1-F12/INS/DEL it all didn't work.
I'm trying to boot from a cd and I can't do it without entering the BIOS.

Your help will be very much appriciated!

Remove any screws holding the BIOS battery door in place. Then identify the battery, (it is generally a small lithium "watch" battery), and remove it taking care not to damage any surrounding circuitry. Let the computer rest for a minute or two to discharge any remaining power, and replace the battery.

it doesn't work...
I think I have enabled the "fast boot" thing the other guy enabled, and now it skips the bios.
what can I do? I'm way to afraid to open the laptop up...

OK, so I solved the problem with holding the F2 key BEFORE hitting the power button.
thanks everyone :)
