How do I get into my BIOS

I have a IBM Netvista 6269  I need to get into the bios and don't know what key to hit.  I have tried all of the normal keys.  If someone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it.  Thanks in advance.

if those keys do not work, try another keyboard  -  PS/2 is preferred

Prompt response and on the money.  Thanks for your assistance.
In this case it is necessary to completely shut down and hold <F1> while booting.

Sounds the same to me.

I have reopened the question for points reassignment.  I didn't' realize.  Sorry for any inconvenience.
GTKINC,

I'm glad to see that you reopened it.  I wasn't going to mention anything but the same information was in my reply (http:Q_21897661.html#16973429) which was even more prompt. :-)

Split the points because each added a piece of different knowledge that was needed in order for me to get in.
Thank you for the extra work to do that.  I'm glad that I could help.
