How to disable Apple Wireless Trackpad from recovery mode? I booted into recovery mode / macOS Utilities and erased my hard drive anticipating to reinstall the OS. Unfortunately my computer is paired to an Apple Wireless Trackpad that I can't find. I believe this trackpad's button is permanently pressed, preventing me from left-clicking, so I can't get all the way through the installer. This trackpad is listed as paired and connected when I go into Terminal and run system_profiler. However recovery mode has no System Preferences so I don't know how to disable this trackpad. Is there any way I can disable the trackpad from recovery mode, such as from Terminal?
Try moving the computer to another location a good distance away from where the trackpad may be located. The theoretical maximum distance for Bluetooth is actually far larger than what I thought. See this page, and this one for more info about Bluetooth ranges.
