As to the MS account appearing on Log-In screen asking for PIN after setting it to skip password, does a link appear nearby to change Sign-in Options, so you can change it to Password? NO did not see link
how do i change it to log on with password not pin will try that
Did you enable the built-in hidden Administrator? no did not see the point as it was a clean install with a fresh download win 11
What is the ghost account? Does it have a name? Can I see a picture?

Did you use fresh installation media for the latest version, wipe all partitions off the drive, not do any other hacks or modifications whatsoever, expedite all Windows Updates until no others are offered, then import the latest drivers and BIOS from the PC maker's Support Downloads webpage for your exact model. While there check for the latest Chipset, BIOS, Sound, Network, USB3, Bluetooth and all other drivers to compare with the version/date installled for that device in Device Manager reached by right clicking the Start Menu.
ok reinstalled win 11 have done this many times everything fine asked to sign in during install with ms account no problems finished up so i went to run netplwiz ms account there, check box not there so went to turn off improved security windows hello went back to netplwiz unticked box entered password 2 times closed down then tried restart, restart came up with log on screen with a ghost account password incorrect
