Unless I missed something, the article states as follows

Another method of bypassing the account lockdown still exists. You simply have to enter OOBE\BYPASSNRO in the command prompt during the Windows 11 setup process, which allows you to skip the connection to the Internet and thus also the link to a Microsoft account.

Tried that a few months ago with a factory new machine and it did not work. Though it might work on Pro machines
