Adding Layer Mask to Original JPG File and Moving It to Top Of Layers Palette

Trying an OOB tutorial (
http://www.worth1000.com/tutorial.asp?sid=161043 ) where it asks to
"add layer masks to both the Original and the Frame layer" but with the
original jpg highlighted in the Layers Palette, the "Add Layer Mask" is
grayed out. I can do it with a copied original file but no luck with
original. Any suggestions?
The original file has a padlock icon in the layer window, which I am
unable to effect.
Secondly, the tutorial shows the original JPG file above all the added
layers but I also cannot move the file to the top of the Palette.
Any suggestions would be most helpful to this newbie. I am using
Photoshop CS2 in a Windows XP Pro OS.

scribbled:
They're calling the layer 'original' it's not THE original layer. Double
click it and rename it and it will work.

Or just double click on the layer icon to make it a normal layer and
unlock it.
