Any one of several things could be happening. Have you confirmed that the keyboard's battery is charged? The keyboard should work if you have it connected via the charge cable. Have you recently done or changed anything which may have caused the problem? You can borrow someone's wired keyboard to enter the password and then further check all settings. This is why I never use wireless keyboards.
