Local Login
For enhanced security, your Mac requires a connection to the internet in order to log in with your account. If you do not have access to a network, you’ll see the message “Your Mac is not connected to a network. Try using local login.” You can use the following steps to log in without network access.

Local login is a backup login method and does not provide the same security as a network login. Only use local login when necessary.
To log in locally and bypass network authentication:
