Pairing wireless keyboard to a locked computer

I have a locked computer that needs a password to unlock it. I have a wireless keyboard that won't pair with the computer until I've unlocked the computer with the password. But I can't enter the password until I've paired the keyboard. Is there a way to pair the wireless keyboard to allow me to enter the login password?

Use a wired USB keyboard until you solve your password issue, if your existing keyboard is one that you can charge then plug the USB cable into the keyboard and Mac and that will make it a USB keyboard.
