Setting up a certified refurbished 2012 iMac

Setting up 2012 iMac with a MacAlly wireless keyboard and mouse. The iMac is not responding at all.

Do I need a wired keyboard to initially setup the computer? I had bought an even older iMac from a friend and his computer was able to pair; before I got to the password screen.

Yes, a wired keyboard is best for initial setup in your case.
