If your Bios is locked it's more than likely a pre-built system and overclocking is prohibited. Your only way of overclocking is via software which to be frank is completely terrible and very unreliable/unstable and you have more chance of damaging components this way.

My advice is go out and buy a new mobo, this will then let you have some freedom to do as you please.
