No network connection possible between iMac and MBP

I use on iMac and MBP 10.13.6

I cannot carry out network connection between iMac and MBP.

I have it done in the past very often with older Systems.

Every time when I start the connection in finder via connection as ... the system ask for password for server by registered user. I don't have a password. When I instead use Apple-ID I see my right new Apple-ID in field but then the message box wobbles.

I have change my email adress on 24. September 2020 14:39.

I need solution.

Regard

MacBook Pro 17″, macOS 10.13

Try selecting Guest (Gast), then use the user name and login password for the MacBook Pro.

Thanks for your quick answer but I don' understand your answer.

I will connect both devices to move data from one device to another.

I have it done in the past wth network connection and will do it yet.

Did this happen after the 2020-005 SecUpd for Mojave?

Try reinstalling this in Safe Mode, but not using Firefox...

Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup).

I use macOS 10.13.6 = High Sierra as I wrote.

I don't install 2020-005 SecUpd yet.

Now the connection works normally.

I think the problem was with Apple-ID.

The legitimation for network connection works via iCloud.

I saw different email adresses in accounts of iMac and MBP.

After carry out connection next day I saw actual email adresses in both accounts.
