You need root to use setcpu. You also need a custom kernel if you want to overclock, otherwise you can only underclock, and that only if you disable perflock.

would someone mind listing a step by step intruction for how to disable perflock?

After you've done the device selection after opening setcpu for the first time, just select menu->perflock disabler. You only have to do that if you're using a kernel that doesn't already have it disabled, such as any stock HTC kernel.
