Stuck in InsydeH2O Setup Utility

My computer was freezing up a lot, so I wanted to perform a system
restore. In a tutorial, it said that it would be best to do this in safe
mode (which, it said, could be attained by hitting F8). Well, I tried,
and F8 didn't do anything; so, I used F12 while starting the system to
go to the boot manager. Unable to find anything of use (as far as
gettings into safe mode) there, I chose some option in the boot manager
that sent me to the Setup window.

In this window, I didn't change anything (at least I don't think I
did--if i changed some value by accident, I'm not sure), and I went to
exit and hit "Exit Saving Changes" (no changes as far as I know).

Then, the computer restarted and opened up the InsydeH2O Setup Utility.
I restarted it again...same thing. I couldn't get the computer to boot
Windows, so I went to the Boot tab. All the regular options were
missing; all it said was:

New Position Policy [In First]

I tried setting it to [In Last], but that didn't do anything. I am now
completely at a loss of what to do about this, and I can't access
anything on my laptop.

If anyone knows how to fix this, please explain the solution to me.
Thanks in advance for the help.

On the Startup Screen you will see a Key to access Bios/setup.
It might be F2, Delete, whatever.
Go into bios, and there will be Key info there, which will tell you which
one to hit to set it all back to defaults.
Save and exit.

And to get into Safe Mode, you TAP F8 at startup.
