bios - How can I enable hardware virtualization when it has been locked in my Dell Vostro 220 PC?

I need help in unlocking my Dell Vostro 220 hardware virtualization.


I ran SecurAble and it gave me the results below:



64-bit Maximum Word Length


Hardware D.E.P --- YES


Hardware Virtualization --- Locked Off



My Processor is the Intel Dual Core E5200 @ 2.5 GHz. I want to have the hardware virtualization ON for improved virtualization by VMWare, VirtualBox, etc.


Can anyone help me safely achieve this?


Motherboard Manufacturer and Model, Dell -- Dont know much, but in the CMOS Setup it said on the Top:



CMOS Setup Utility (c) 1985-2008 American Megatrends Inc.
