You should have said why you cannot use the F2 key. Try this-- reboot the computer and immediately start tapping the F2 key without waiting for any screen. Today's computers boot so fast that the key press cannot be timed correctly. Keep tapping the F2 key.
You should not change the boot order in the bios. That is now done by tapping F12 the same way to get to the boot menu so you can select the boot drive.
Explain why you want to reset the bios.

no it's not working.
actually my desktop is ubuntu based and i want to install windows 8.1 but it's not going to bios through f2 or f12. just a blank screen is coming after pressing these keys.
also after detaching the hdd from desktop, the key is still not working. i have tried to connect keyboard, front and back side also.
