Can I log in to my iMac without a mouse

Some time ago my apple mouse stopped working and so I ordered a new one. However before it arrived my iMac stopped turning on, and it needed repairs. Now my iMac is fixed and turning on but does not recognise my mouse. I have the log in page displayed but the mouse can't move the cursor to click on my profile icon.

iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013)

You can use the arrow keys to select the account, then press Return to login.


You can use keyboard shortcuts do do many mouse functions.

If your keyboard has a numeric keypad, Mouse Keys may be useful.
