If the iMac starts up to the login screen, then perhaps your wireless keyboard is un-paired. If the keyboard is a newer rechargeable one, try plugging it into your iMac. If not, then you may need to get and use a USB keyboard

If the iMac is not starting up to the login screen, then you will need to provide more detailed info about the iMac and screen that is showing.
