Apple Remote - 'Unpair' Button Greyed Out

[Go1die]

For some reason my apple remote stopped working, so I replaced the batteries and tried pairing it again. Didn't work so I did some research and tried to Unpair it, but the Unpair button is greyed out (unclickable).

Any solutions to this?

Thanks

I am using an administrator account (I have only one account on my computer). The lock is also unlocked and I am able to make other changes.

Try this as well:

To pair your Apple Remote with your MacBook:

Position the Apple Remote 3 to 4 inches from the IR receiver on your MacBook.

Press and hold the Menu and Next/Fast-forward buttons on the Apple Remote for 5 seconds.

Hopefully that works.
