My drill works in reverse but I cant find out where to switch it to forward
Turn the drill over and push the switch all the way in.
SOURCE: Black & Decker Drill (Motor does not work on Forward switch but it is ok on reverse)
Scraped the drill and bought a new one for $20
SOURCE: bosch psb 600 drill will not reverse
The red button sits on a lever that changes the polarity of the switch output. If this lever feels loose and you can't feel it engaging anything then you need to split the housing and make sure it is seated properly. If it is, and the lever on the switch is moving fine aswell then you should check all the wires coming out of the switch, and if they are all connected properly you will prob need a new switch.
SOURCE: I have the black and decker hammer drill model
look at the back of the brush holder for a tab that the forward/reverse lever locks into, it might be broken not allowing it to shift.
SOURCE: drill just stopped? not working
These tear the brushes out. You can not use them for hammering. It is a design problem.
Replace the brushes and use only for straight drilling.

The switch (PN: N089938) for your drill costs between $75 & $80, so:
If by "brand new, just out of the box" you mean you just bought it, bring it back to where you got it and exchange it or get your money back.
If by "brand new, just out of the box" you mean you bought it, it sat somewhere for some time and you're just now using it, check to see if it's still under warranty so you can get it fixed through that.
If it's out of warranty, you'll have to buy a switch to fix it. They're available on sites like www.ereplacementparts.com.
