Paul gave you an excellent method for resetting a local Windows password with the first link in his first post. Look at the part about renaming utilman.exe. It works very well. I've had to also rename (but not replace) c:\windows\system32\en-us\utilman.exe.mui on some systems to make it work. Make sure you repeat the process and rename the files back when you are done.
That's similar to the one Paul suggested, though his had to do with utilman.exe. I don't think you can get either to work with a TPM-locked PC (I'm assuming you mean Bitlocker-locked with a TPM) without valid Windows login credentials or the key that was generated and saved somewhere for Bitlocker. That's a core of the whole point of Bitlocker. It prevents someone from accessing the data without proper credentials.
If you are able I highly suggest the utilman hack. It sounds like you can boot from a USB, in which case this becomes extremely easy to do. You can even see documentation on the easy2boot.com website. It sounds like you are using a Windows 10 PC, in which case the utilman hack is relatively easy. I have a link on this page: to the easy2boot website. If you have a windows 10 ISO handy this is even easier.
I mentioned it a few months ago and someone (sorry, forget who) who I consider very reliable discouraged its use as he claimed it can cause serious problems with newer OSs. I've ceased to use it since then. The Utilman trick has been successful for me wherever I might have wanted to use Pogostick.
"When it boots I'm not getting any option to select which account to boot into. ": do you not have "Other user" in the bottom-left corner? I'm presuming that you're not able to log into Administrator.
If you are able to log in with any account, see if you can edit the registry to turn off Auto Logon: -us/troubleshoot/windows-server/user-profiles-and-logon/turn-on-automatic-logon Refer to the Note at the end.
Sorry, SOE is Standard Operating Enviroment. It is a procedure that outlines how a business PC is setup, this includes OS and its configuration and applications. Used on all our new PC's and any that run into problems like this one.
Run lusrmgr.msc, right-click on the user's name, left-click on Properties, and see if "User cannot change password" is checked. I would expect that only applies to that one user changing their own password, though.

"If you've ever stared at the login screen and cursed at being locked out of a system this program is a GODSEND. Easy to use and quiet brilliant. A friend's system had been brought to me with this exact problem (evidently their 9 year old had wanted to change the Password and had promptly forgotten what he had chosen)No matter how many attempts the Login screen wouldnt allow them past. This program allowed me to delete their old password (their 9 year old's name spelled backwards btw)and create a new one. System rebooted and entered Vista SP1 at the first try. Thank you. This is a great program." --Argonaught
