Hi Nukerko,
Do you get the prompt for password once the computer boot to windows or at Dell logo?
Did you set up a connected or local account in Windows 8?
If you have a connected account and is not able to log in due to password issues, you can follow the steps below:
This feature enables the user to recover the system to a previous date or to the factory image.
1. Plug in the AC Adapter
2. Restart system from the power menu while holding down key
3.This will take the system to the 'Advance Windows Options'. Click 'Troubleshoot'
4. Click on 'Dell Backup and Recovery' option to initiate complete PC restore.
5. Click the Recovery tile
6. Click System Recovery
7. Click Yes, Continue
8. Select the recovery point, then click Restart
9. The system would prompt the user to ensure that they are selecting the correct backup point. Click Yes once verified
10. The system restarts and goes ahead with restoring the factory image as per the recovery point selected. Follow the on-screen instructions to setup the Operating System
Hope this helps. Do reply if you have any further questions. I would be glad to assist.

It may be you login password, try it and if that didn't help, try to recover lost password with smartkey
