I have also followed advice from those that state their workaround has succeeded, but not for me. Every piece of advice I have followed has taken me to a password prompt. That is why I am trying to bypass my login password to access my desktop. It appears the Windows setup will not allow me to do anything without a password. If I could get to a manual boot screen, I think I could bypass the password prompt with the correct command, but nothing I have tried so far allows that.
