the easiest: install ubuntu in dual boot and access/save your important data on the ntfs windows partition. Once you're done decide what to do with the windows partition. Another option (hardware dependant) the fastest: remove your hard disk and connect it to another device via a sata to usb adaptor. Access/save your important data. Once you're done decide what to do with the windows partition.

If you have access to another Windows 8 computer, go to the control panel and create a recovery drive. After creating, you can use the recovery drive to boot off your locked PC, and use this method to reset your password: http://www.top-password.com/knowledge/reset-forgotten-windows-8-password.html The method doesn't work for Microsoft account. To reset Microsoft account password, please visit: https://account.live.com/password/reset
