Windows 10: Bypassing Windows 11 login screen for someone without a password

Hello, I'm a computer lab facilitator but not an IT person - I mostly just help novices perform basic internet searches and use Microsoft Office. I don't really know anything about coding or PowerShell or anything like that, so I apologize in advance if I have trouble understanding any suggestions or requests for additional information. An older woman brought in an HP EliteBook that I believe is running Windows 11 I can't check for sure since I can't check the system info, but it definitely looks like Windows 11. She's stuck on the sign-in screen, which is asking for the password for a user

Ways to bypass the login theme and signin do not work

Tried setting netplwiz in option 1 step 4 which shows no check in users must enter ..... no bypass of login

Tried step 4 in option 5 below to disable require sign-on on wakeup via policy via registry but still no change on wakeup still getting the screen picture that requires hitting Esc to move to the sign in window which shows a silhouette image, my user name and a sign in button in order to access my desktop screen. Guess I will have to live with the extra steps.

Again thanks for your interest and suggestions.
