I want to make my laptop to start at a scheduled time everyday(at 8:45AM precisely). To do that I want to access advanced options in bios to get to power on options in advanced settings. But the advanced tab is completely missing in my bios. After some google search I came to know that it's locked. Kindly help me to unlock and get that tab to access power on options.

Sorry, but that's not possible.
OEMs lock out the advanced BIOS options to prevent customers from making changes to options that can destabilize or otherwise damgage the PC -- and then send it back for repair under warranty claiming they did nothing to it.
I know only SOME of the advanced options are risky, but it's simpler to disable access to ALL advanced options than to allow/disallow on an individual option basis.
That's the course of action that HP has chosen.

Thank you for your reply. But my laptop warranty is already expired 2 yrs back. I want to have full control of my laptop. If it is not possible then give a solution to auto start at scheduled time. I am asking for a basic thing any system should be capable of. Kindly provide rhe solution.
