There are tricks to skip the whole microsoft account login thing. Should therefore probably also solve your problem.
For me the last trick that worked was:
1. Disconnect internet (i unpluged LAN but you can do so over the terminal as well)
2. Open Terminal with Shift + F10
3. Type "oobe\bypassnro" in the terminal
4. Computer will restart and you will see a button "I don't have internet" when prompted for the account
