if you want to open CMD without log in you can replace UtilMan.exe with copy of cmd.exe (renamed to utilman.exe), then you can open command prompt by clicking Ease of access button at logon screen.
it has to be done by linux live CD or another OS, by this way you can then change password of any account via CMD or open any program without having to log in (all proceses will be opened by SYSTEM account)

BitLocker in TPM-only mode protects against modifications to the boot process (such as Live CDs, etc.) while also providing reasonable (hardly perfect, but reasonable) protection against physical attackers (you'd have to freeze the RAM from the live system after bootup but before login). This only works because it's expected that the attacker is stymied at the login screen. By providing a way to bypass login with arbitrary permissions, you are reducing the security of any system using BitLocker.

Otherwise, it is a valid point.
