Inspiron 14 3451 Bios / Secure Mode -- How to enter setup?

With the Inspiron 14 (Model 3451) using Bios A05 Secure Mode, it's difficult to get the attention of Bios Setup.  I've tried , , .   Ugh.    Is there buffer that fills if you press too many keys?    Do you basically have one shot at it each time?    Is there a specific time during the DELL spash that you need to wake up the Bios setup?
