If you have heard of NT Password then you may also have heard about Trinity Rescue Kit. Let me tell you a little about Trinity Rescue Kit first. It is a Windows password bypassing program that uses the Linux Live CD technology to erase the password from a computer. In reality, TRK uses the same winpass script that is used in the Offline NT Password & Registry Editor "chntpw" script. Basically, it allows a person to remove login password from any Windows computer but only limited to local accounts.
Part 1. How to Use TRK to Bypass Computer Password?
Step 1. You need to download the Trinity Rescue Kit ISO file and then burn it on a DVD or CD with a free ISO burner. Latest Windows 8 and Windows 10 has in-built burners but if you are using an older Windows version then download ImgBurn to complete this step.
Step 2. When you insert the disc on the password locked computer, it should boot from the compact disc instead of the local hard drive. But if you need to change the settings then go to BIOS and change the boot priority.
Step 3. On the display screen, you should see an image like below where TRK will offer numerous options. Choose "Windows Password Resetting" options with the help of the arrow buttons on the keyboard then press Enter.
Step 4. On the next page, choose "Winpass prompts for username first" then type in the username of your computer.
Step 5. Now type "1" on the keyboard to clear the password from the computer and quit from TRK.
You will see the message that says "Password is cleared" indicating the password is removed from the computer.
