Q: Dialog box for entering 6-digit number to pair aluminum Bluetooth keyboard does not accept entry.

Ok, so my aluminum blue tooth keyboard batteries were replaced and not I can't get it to pair with my MacBook Pro. I did all the troubleshooting steps described in the forum. What's happening is that when the 6-digit number pops up and I attempt to enter the number, the number keys don't work. So when I type the number, the computer does not recognize the keys as being pressed. Hitting RETURN causes the CANCEL button to be pressed, which cancels the operation. Anyone else with this issue?
