I had this same problem, but let me tell you that you can definitely use the power armor glitch that allows you to pass through the walls to solve this.
It takes a bunch of trial and error, and I found that when you exit the power armor it still looks like you are in the outside hallway, you need to step backwards through the wall and turn to complete the glitch, once you see the blue sky and partial walls, you can then walk forward and be on the other side of the locked entrance.
There is also a guy who was able to jump backwards through the wall somehow.
Just Google "you tube end of the line glitch solution"
and you will find the videos.
Hope this helps, otherwise it really svcks that you cannot complete the game because of this broken quest.
