How to access Windows 10 user account that is connected to an online account?

I am trying to access a dead family member's Windows 10 computer. Normally I would use chntpw on the C:\Windows\System32\config\PAM file from a Linux live USB, but this file does not exist on the machine. I believe this is because the user account is not a local one, but tied to an online Microsoft account.

Is there a way to access this user account on the machine without having to reset the password for the online Microsoft account?
