I have an HP omnibook laptop, that i need to get the cmos cleared ?

Please help me, dont hace any ideas...

Normal pc:s are easy to shortcut but this one ?

The model is HP omnibook Xe3...
 
I don't know the Omnibook, but is there not a Restore defaults option in the BIOS? If the solution is here, let us know it was helpful so others can benefit from it as too
 
The flash utility program for your Bios might be an option. With Award Bios/awdflash, you would use this switch to clear the cmos: /cc
To see all switches and command syntax, type: awdflash /?
If you're not familiar with the procedure, read the instructions first.

You're not alone,

You should be able to clear the bios by pressing the INS / Insert button when you start the machine.

Whats the reason behind clearing it? Tez

Backups are great but checking if you can restore is more fun.
