No how do I do that? It’s a Lenovo thinkpad.

First fully power it off by holding a power button for some time (usually around 5 sec is enough) then press power button again and try to enter bios when you see lenovo logo screen by pressing F2 or FN+F2

Tried that it didn’t work I tried F1 also and it just goes back to the please select boot device box.
