CMOS (complementary metal oxide semi conductor) is a logic family. A logic family refers to the way of implementing logic. Using this technique, logic gates are realized. The combination of several logic gates forms a digital circuit or integrated circuit (IC). A mother board is also an IC. The technique used to realize it is CMOS logic.

What happens when CMOS is restored to default?
The computer uses the BIOS to set all the basic setting for all the motherboard functions and them saves the settings to the CMOS. By restoring the CMOS to default (By either entering the BIOS Setup which is usually hitting f12 or end on startup, or changing the connector pins that are related to your motherboard (check motherboard manual) ) You will remove all modifications you have changed in the past. Everything should work fine if you do this. You will just loose any changes you have made.
