My advice would be the following:

1) Find a room where you know that there are encounters. This could be one of the room with the rocks and spikes, the room after Toriel leaves you alone, one of the rooms with the red/green/blue switches, etc.

2) Hold UP+DOWN, pressing no other buttons. This will cause you to do a wallhump, which makes the step counter go by a bit more quickly. Keep holding it until you get an encounter. It could take several minutes. You could also AltTab whilst wallhumping and go do something useful
