On a Thinkpad 755, press and continue to hold F1 while turning on power,thru POST till it enters bios. Might be the same for yours.

I was wrong in my last post. I misaligned the rows of two different model sets. According to the IBM BIOS simulator page you just hold the F1 down then power the machine on and it should go into the BIOS.
