Power on your locked Samsung computer. Most Samsung PCs allow you to access to BIOS setup by pressing F2 on the keyboard when you see a prompt "Press [key] to enter BIOS Setup", some older PCs may use DELETE key to enter the BIOS, please look carefully at the message to see which key you need to press.

If you just created a Windows 7 admin / user password reset USB drive in step 1, you set Removable Devices (it may be called USB Device, USB DISK, [USB brand name] in some BIOS) for 1st Boot Device; if you created a password reset CD/ DVD disc, here you set CDROM for 1st Boot Device.
some PCs' BIOS screen are different, and the boot order option may be called "Boot Device Priority", "Advanced BIOS Features", "First Boot Device", "Boot Sequence", and the USB drive option may be named USB/ Removable Device.
After setting your disk as the firstly boot device in BIOS, press F10 to save changes and exit the BIOS. You Samsung computer will restart.
