Numbers 1-8 won’t work on my Mac wireless mini keyboard so can’t log in (M1 Mini) A few days back I went to start my Mac Mini M1 and the Apple mini wireless keyboard no longer accepts input from the number keys 1 through 8. My password has numeric digits so I am unable to log in. Does anyone have any tips on how to overcome this? I have another Apply wireless keyboard, but cannot get to the screen to set it up. Thanks!

Try plugging it in with the charging cable. It might have been de-paired somehow.
