I tried to change exampleModel.xml.sample to exampleModel.xml and example-model-context.xml.sample to example-model-context.xml and restart tomcat but I didn't find any change on aspect.

You need to specify which alfresco you are working with ?
1) Alfresco explorer (http://localhost:8080/alfresco)
OR
2) Alfresco share (http://localhost:8080/share)

If you are using alfresco explorer, you need to customize web-client-config.xml file.

Please follow each and every step as explained.
It should definitely work.

regarding
The last file in our model definition adds some i18n labels for the aspect and property names. Add the following content to the file alfresco/messages/knowledgebase.properties.
for this should be create knowledgebase.properties on on which one

opt/alfresco-4.2.f/tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/messages
opt/alfresco-4.2.f/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/messages
opt/alfresco-4.2.f/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/messages

You need to place the properties file at this location.
opt/alfresco-4.2.f/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/messages

         <form>
            <field-visibility>
               <show id="kb:documentRef" />
            </field-visibility>
         </form>

         <!– Document Library pop-up Edit Metadata form –>
         <form id="doclib-simple-metadata">
            <field-visibility>
               <show id="kb:documentRef" />
            </field-visibility>
            <edit-form template="../documentlibrary/forms/doclib-simple-metadata.ftl" />
         </form>
