You must install the Samsung drivers on your computer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788093

JI6 (Froyo 2.2): Special instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831569

JH7 (2.1 update): Follow these special instructions - http://goo.gl/Smyv

Update: Search the Market for Unlock Captivate, and download the free app by DaGentooBoy! I have personally tested it, and the Unlock code that it gives me is the same as the other harder methods. I have no clue what the Unfreeze code does.

Why is unlocking useful? You can use your smartphone on other carriers. For example, use T-Mobile, or a prepaid SIM card (gophone), or even use carriers in China when you're off traveling (theoretically).

Usually, unlocking requires you to send an "unlocker" your IMEI # and some payment around $35, but with this hack, you can get your phone unlocked yourself for free! All thanks to the folks at XDA Forums.
This video was made a while ago, when the Captivate still had Android 2.1. Do not be surprised if it does not work anymore.

I suggest checking XDA Forums for help and newer techniques to unlock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761751
