Default IBM Thinkpad 760ed laptop BIOS problem

Hi,
Are there anyone out there that can help me with the following issue.
To get into the BIOS I am told that I should keep F1 down under boot-up. Thatīs fine but I will then end up in the "Easy setup program" and that gives me very few option to change.
Are there anyone that can tell me how to reach the BIOS and not to end up in the "Easy set-up program"?

When you are booting up a lot of BIOS setups list the key to get into the BIOS on the first screen on boot (called the POST). Is this not present?

Hi guys....Most IBMs use F2 or F12 to get into the BIOS.

Push either of these buttons at POST

Hi Guy's if thet don't work try this recommended by IBM

BIOS Setup

Most systems have the setup program built right in to the ROM BIOS software. These built-in setup programs are activated by a key sequence usually entered during the POST. Most systems show a prompt on the screen during the POST indicating which key to press to enter the BIOS Setup.
The major vendors have standardized on the following keystrokes to enter the BIOS Setup:
  • For AMI BIOS, press Del during POST.
  • For Phoenix BIOS, press F2 during POST.
  • For Award BIOS, press Del or Ctrl+Alt+Esc during POST.
  • For Microid Research BIOS, press Esc during POST.
Here's some more to try
