You can still connect to a Raspberry Pi when you have no power supply, or Ethernet by using a TTL USB Serial Cable.

In this video I use the
USB TTL Serial cable,
4 spare wires,
the raspberry pi,
putty application,
windows device manager

My USB TTL serial cable has 6 wires, but I only need to use
VCC - Red,
GND - Black
RX - White
TX - Green

I then connect these to the Raspberry Pi pins,
RED wire - 5V (pin 2)
Black wire - GND (pin 6)
White wire- GPIO 14 (pin 8 )
Green wire - GPIO 15 (pin 10)

I then plug in the usb cable,
check windows device manager to see which com port it has connected to,
open putty, connect to
Serial,
Com4 (in my case),
Baud 115200

Wait a bit for the login prompt, type in user name 'pi' and my password.
