Cannot get into CMOS setting after installation of Rescue

[niuers]

Hi all,
I have an IBM T40 purchased 2 years ago. It's model is 237358U.
I recently installed the IBM rescue and recovery software. However, after the restart, I can no longer access the startup settings (i.e. the setting screen let you restore to fatory condition, and use rapid restore to get back to previous state without getting into windows). There is no effect is I pressed the 'Access IBM' blue button. Does anyone here know what cause the problem and how should I correct for it? It makes no sense for me to have the rescue software installed but not able to use it if my system crashed.

Thanks in advance,

From the IBM Rescue and Recovery readme file:

Consideration 12
IBM computers that have a hidden protected area (HPA), also referred
to as PARTIES, and have the IBM Rescue and Recovery program installed
will not be able to boot into either the PARTIES or Rescue and
Recovery workspace after recovering the original factory contents.
To enable the PARTIES area again, restore a backup using either the
Rescue and Recovery program in the Windows environment or by booting
from rescue media and then uninstall the Rescue and Recovery program.
