The drive where Windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive and try again.

I keep receiving the following message on a HP ENVY dv4 laptop:

The drive where Windows is installed is locked.  Unlock the drive and try again.

I attempted to do F11 at startup and can't really go anywhere from here.  I also went into the restore feature once logged into the machine, but nothing.  Same thing occurs.

I want to set my laptop back to it's factory settings.
