Bluetooth Keyboard PIN

Split from this thread.

I am having the same issue; namely, when I try to pair my keyboard (to a Win10 Mobile device) it sees the keyboard (Listing it as a "Bluetooth 3.0 Keyboard, Input") as available to pair.   When I touch on the keyboard to pair and it asks for the pin.  I do not know the PIN and there is no default PIN for the device.  (I attempted to pair the Keyboard to an Android device, the Android device generated a new PIN and I entered that and it works with that device).

It appears that I need to wipe out the Win10 device's previous association with the BT keyboard so that I can start the pairing process again, but I cannot find any documentation on how to do that.

    This guy seems to have figured it out: 

    https://wheresmykeyboard.com/2017/08/bluetooth-keyboard-asking-passcode-not-giving-pin-type/

    Aparently you can use the Bluetooth and Devices menu:

    1. Activate bluetooth pairing / bluetooth on your keyboard (so it is detectable)
    2. Press Add Bluetooth or other device
    3. Double click to connect
    4. Your receive an enter pin dialogue, on your computer type "0000" and press connect
    5. While it says connect, press "0000"+enter on your keyboard

    You may need to first remove the pairing in the Bluetooth and Devices menu to get this to work by pressing the device text and then pressing the "Remove device" button

    The keyboard seems to time out after a period of inactivity, but it seems that turning it on and off solves the issue sometimes (or repeating the connect process...)

    Good luck!

    At one point it showed passwords yet I wasn't sure how to enter them in, since it didn't' show that specific password screen.

    Now I am not able to find how the passwords display.  I have also tried, 1111, 9999, and the passwords it showed, yet it is still saying, wrong passwords.

    What should I do next?

    Is there a way to reset the keyboard?

    Thank you
