Administrator user cannot access dashboard after localwp import

I suspect, this issue is much more related to htaccess rather than WordPress installation. In a standard WP installation, you can find the .htaccess file in the root directory of your WP install. This file is used for various server settings and specifically, URL rewrites. The reason for this file starts with a dot, the file is hidden, so may you need to enable the view hidden files.

Your main site might have a specific configuration that needs to be removed in the local environment. So, try testing your site both with and without the access control. And then test it again with the WordPress default htacess config.
