This tutorial may come in handy. At the end if this, you should be able to reset your windows 8 password. No need for any complex process or formatting you machine jusy because of that. Remember not to do anything illegal

2. Boot into the bios and disable the secure boot and or swap UEFI bios to legacy.

3. Set boot order for the DVD drive (or USB drive depending on which one you are using) first and proceed to save and exit the bios.

4. When booted from the disc select your language and click next.
