If the latter then you can reset the thing by opening the computer up and removing the CMOS battery (tons of help online - search Google for it, there will even be YouTube videos if you need them) for ten minutes before putting it back and starting again.

If it is a laptop, you may have to remove the battery and short out a couple of contacts on the motherboard. Check with the Samsung web site's support pages for this system.

Be ready to prove it's yours since when the maker does this it's a form of theft protection. The makers sometimes get flamed over this but hey, if it's yours legitimately, it's like you locked your keys in your car and pay a little to the locksmith.
It must be worth it to get this done, right?
