Description: To log into a local account on a domain computer, start the computer and wait for the Windows sign-in screen, then click “Other user” if needed and enter the local account name using the format COMPUTERNAME\Username or .\Username to indicate the local machine instead of the domain. Enter the local password and press Enter, which authenticates the account against the computer’s local Security Account Manager (SAM) database. This signs you into the device using local credentials rather than domain credentials, allowing access only to the computer’s local files, applications, and settings, provided the account is enabled and allowed to log in under the system’s local security policies.
