Have service call scheduled tomorrow afternoon, but the problem is stunningly simple, if only I knew how to fix.
Family's iMac downstairs: old wireless keyboard dies, and in the shuffle, the Mac gets rebooted and stuck at log-in screen. Replacement keyboard in hand, but can't get it to link, bluetooth-wise to Mac and without it, cannot get past log-in screen.
Everywhere I look in help and online, I get instructions on how to fix the keyboard connection--but only if you're past the log in.
So the question is: how to log-in absent keyboard so I can get to screens I know well and get the keyboard discovered and linked up?
Any help appreciated--but fast!
