How can I log in and wipe an iMac if the Bluetooth keyboard isn’t paired?

We have a late 2015 iMac “Core” I’m trying to wipe and recycle. I can’t get past the password prompt at login, possibly because the wireless Bluetooth keyboard isn’t synced. How do I get around this? TIA.


I do have an old USB trackball that works, but not a non-wireless keyboard.

Easiest solution I should've thought of sooner: connect Bluetooth keyboard via Lightning-to-USB cord.
