Performed factory reset on a Nexus Player but I don't have the default remote anymore.

Question

I can't get passed the pairing screen now. I was able to connect my phone's Bluetooth to the Nexus Player but the AndroidTV app doesn't recognize it. I've tried pairing the Amazon remote but no luck either. Anyone run into this problem before?

Answer solved: while at the pairing screen press the button on the bottom of the Nexus Player, press and hold the home button on the Amazon remote, wait for the Player to detect, and viola!

USB mouse or keyboard should do the trick in a pinch. Android detects them
