I cannot turn on my iMac because ase the keyboard is not connected

The message says: Pair Your Keyboard. The keyboard is on but the iMac cannot identify it.

I tried to connect the keyboard to other devices, and it works just fine.

Beg, borrow or buy any usb keyboard and use that to log in. It is a good idea to also have a usb mouse to hand for similar situations. If you have a magic keyboard you can plug it into the Mac using the lightening to usb charging cable.
