OR simply push the power button (don't hold it down), and then press the 's' key....

Open the following folders:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/

in order to find and double click the:
Eject.menu

This will put an eject icon on your menu bar.

Force eject is easy: hold the mouse button down when you're booting up.
