Big problem, try reset the BIOS with the jumper or look for a reset button, that usually is red or black.

I know that in some motherboards you can reset by taking out the battery, waiting a few minutes (approximately 5 minutes) and getting it back.

^Is another option, but we don't know if this mobo is of this kind, so the sure option is the jumper or the reset button.

so why won't he tell us?

Taking out the battery is much easier than look for the jumper, and then start dealing with it. Don't forget it's very fragile.
