my daughter imac a1224 will not allow her to log in as her keyboard isnt working and she needs to log in for school work

It doesn’t have a button on the side, I think it’s a very old one as i purchased it from Wowcher As it’s her first pc and wasn’t sure, it’s been working amazing, I’ve changed the batteries in the keyboard and still no luck, the usb from the mouse isn’t working either, I’m guessing it’s linked, I don’t know if she has accidentally turnt off the Bluetooth, but I can’t check because we can’t get passed the login with password stage because the keyboard isn’t working. I’ve just put an old mouse into it and it’s working fine, but no luck with keyboard :(

Thankyou for your advice tho x

it’s not a wired one unfortunately, I think it’s a very old one as i purchased it from Wowcher As it’s her first pc and wasn’t sure, it’s been working amazing, I’ve changed the batteries in the keyboard and still no luck, the usb from the mouse isn’t working either, I’m guessing it’s linked, I don’t know if she has accidentally turnt off the Bluetooth, but I can’t check because we can’t get passed the login with password stage because the keyboard isn’t working.

Ok so I’m using a different keyboard and managed to get in, I’ve tried to pair her other mouse and keyboard through Bluetooth, and it’s not finding either of them at all, it telling me in the screen to make sure the mouse has batteries etc but on this particular model the mouse doesn’t seem to have any and there is nowhere obvious that I can try and take the mouse apart

I will definitely try this, Thankyou so much, will let you know how I get on

I just have up and ordered her new keyboard and mouse, more up to date one where you can also plug it in (just in case) 😂😂 Thankyou for your help tho, it’s much appreciated x
