You need to disassemble the Laptop and disconnect the CMOS battery for at least a good hour and then reconnect it, reassemble the laptop and you will have to re-enter optimal BIOS values at next boot but you should be able to access your laptop again, if not, leave the CMOS battery out for at least 24 hours and try again.
