How can I turn my cold water tap on that has seized up?

The cold water tap on a hand basin has seized up and water can not be turned on. I have asked this question before and the answer was ''get a plumber its common sense'' This is a DIY slot so can somebody please give me some useful advice and not state the obvious I thank you

the tap needs stripping down as it has seized inside.
make sure you isolate the water first
