It won’t always work for every situation, but it could get you out of a bind and save you from having to pay for a commercial solution.Trinity Rescue Kit or TRK is a free live Linux distribution aiming specifically at recovery and repair operations on Windows but is equally usable for Linux recovery issues. That said, we recommend Trinity Rescue Kit as a software tool for systems administrators to keep in mind, in case you ever need to reset a Windows password. You really have to search for the software online, and even then, it’s hit or miss whether it will work on modern hardware.
It has a small file size and adequate documentation, and includes a set of other basic utilities that could come in handy.īut there’s no looking past the fact that it hasn’t been updated in years, the download links don’t work, and it lacks support for several USB drives and network setups. If you need to reset a forgotten Windows password, Trinity Rescue Kit is one of the few free tools that you can use. For this, we recommend Ophcrack, which can be booted from a CD or USB drive just like Trinity Rescue Kit can. To learn more about the system, read our Ophcrack review. However, both are commercial products, with Kon-Boot starting at $25 and PassFab 4WinKey starting at $19.95.Īnother option is cracking the password. Both Kon-Boot and PassFab 4WinKey offer this functionality, work similarly to Trinity Rescue Kit, and are both better supported and easier to use. If you just want to reset a Windows password, a few choices exist. This documentation is available on the live CD too, by typing trkhelp. There are pages for each of the Trinity Rescue Kit utilities that outline all the command-line options. It has a Facebook page, but this has seen no action since 2016.īut the documentation available on the Trinity Rescue Kit website is quite useful. Trinity Rescue Kit’s "Contact Us" page is blank. The documentation does a good job introducing how to use Trinity Rescue Kit (Image credit: Trinityhome)
