I naturally felt like a white knight and told them to “bring it over to my house I’ll have it unlocked in no time.” Booting The Laptop Into Kali Linuxįirst of all, for those of you who don’t know, its extremely simple to create a bootable USB drive loaded up with Kali Linux. Since many of you know, this is a trivial problem to solve provided the laptop is not utilizing disk-level encryption which in my friend’s case it was not. They hadn’t used the system in quite some time and couldn’t recall the password to log in.

Nothing nefarious here just a common scenario we’ve all been in before. A friend of mine recently asked if I could help them by recovering passwords from an old Windows laptop.
