There is a small dip switch on the board. It may be set to disable. Location should be indicated inside case cover. If not download HP product bulletin.
my switches are in the off (enabled) position. If I put correct password it will take it and let me in; but if I enter invalid password I'm still allowed in after 2 tries; but view is read only. I'm not sure if this is the way it's configured to work.
Don't recall. Its been a while, but read only will do. You are just trying to lock it down? Right? Should not effect anything.

For future reference, the BIOS is acting just as it should. HP designed it so that you could view the contents of the RBSU but not make changes w/out a password. The laptops (when they were one company) function the same way.
