Then, that means you must have done the Win10 Upgrade -- and that is bad news with respected to resetting your PC.
While Microsoft tells you that there is no risk in the Win10 Upgrade, because they let you believe that you can always revert back to your original OS and setup within 30 days, the ugly fact of the matter is that the Win10 GoBack function has proven to be unreliable -- and when it fails, it can leave machines in a corrupted state -- which doesn't always happen, but it does happen often enough to be a problem and you won't get any warning in advance that it is going to trash your PC!
If that is not bad enough, the Win10 Upgrade is know to corrupt the Recovery partition stored there by the OEM that built the original machine. This pretty much guarantees that no HP Recovery is going to work: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Video-Display-and-Touch/HP-Recovery-Manager-Blocked-After-Windo...
This means that RESET no longer works on your laptop due to your doing the Win10 Upgrade.
To actually restore your PC to its original condition, you need something known as HP Recovery Media. But the problem with this solution, is that the ENTIRE drive will be erased, removing everything you have on it. And since only the OS and drivers woud be restored, you would have to save off all your personal data to restore it later, and reinstall all your applications.

Hello;
Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!
I see you're running Win10. Did the PC come preinstalled with Win10? Or, did you upgrade it from a prior OS to Win10?
This is important as the recovery/reset method is different for the two situations.
We can proceed when you provide the answers.

I have the HP recovery media because at the starting when i brought this laptop I wanted to do disk partition so they asked me to do recovery first with those CDs. So shall I give my laptop to service center to do the recovery.

You can actually do the recovery using the disks yourself.
