Modified your code a bit.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <conio.h>
using namespace std;


int main(){
	string pass = "";
	char ch;
	cout << "Enter pass: ";

	while ((ch=_getch()) != 13)
	{  
		if (ch == 8) // delete
		{
			// cant delete from a empty
			// string so check this
			if (pass.length() > 0) {
				pass.erase(pass.length()-1);
				cout << "\b \b"; // backspace and clear
			}
		}
		else
		{
			// we are appending
			pass.push_back(ch);
			cout << '*';
		}
	}

	if (pass == "hello"){
		cout << "\nAccess granted :P\n";
	}
	else{
		cout << "\nAccess aborted...\n";
	}
	_getch();
}
