you can't, why do you want to unlock your bootloader? your warranty will be gone if something goes wrong, and in some countries like the UK they won't repair your phone anymore if you unlock the bootloader.

I`m afraid about these because im not undertending a part of the tutorial.

Heare is the tutorial:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16659481&postcount=33

At step 7 he sads: Now windows ask you to locate the drivers. Locate and install the drivers from download 2.

BUT MY WINDOWS DONT ASK FOR DRIVERS! MY WINDOWS ALREADY HAS ONE CALLED "Android ADB Interface, S1Boot Fastboot" from GOOGLE.
