Need to log in to my Mac mini

I just moved and lost the keyboard to my 2020 Mac mini. I don't know how to pair a new blue tooth keyboard without being able to access settings, which I cannot do because I can’t log on without a connected keyboard.

How can I pair my older wireless keyboard to my new Mac mini? Don’t say turn on Bluetooth because I can’t get in the computer because the keyboard won’t pair. I cannot get into my brand new Mac mini, because my slightly older, Apple wireless keyboard will not pair to it. And don’t say “make sure the Bluetooth is turned on the Mac mini”, because you can’t do that without the keyboard working.
