Re-Enabling Admin disabled USB ports on Windows 7 HP notebook

[shinichi kudo]

Specifications:
HP 2000 Notebook PC. Windows 7 (64 bit).

My office laptop had typical restrictions of USB ports being blocked, etc.
Now I bought the laptop from my company for my personal use but the USB port restrictions are still in place.

How do I remove these restrictions?

Already tried:

Appreciate your help on this.

P.S. I have access to the admin account on my PC
