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.

    I've just had exactly the same issue. I tried to solve it hardly, but appeared that only a few simple steps can resolve the situation.

    1. Turn on your bluetooth keyboard (or other device) and switch it co pairing mode (usually you have to press 'connect' button for that).
    2. In your phone settings choose the device you want to pair it with.
    3. In the "enter the pin for bluetooth keyboard" that you showed in screenshot in the first message, enter 0000 (I suppose you can enter any combination of digits, but I used 0000).
    4. Right after that press '0000' (or any other combination you entered in the previous step) ON YOUR KEYBOARD and hit enter on it.

    WORKS!!!

    I found solution for my keyboard... When it pops out to put PIN just tipe 4 digit number and click connect and then press the same 4 digit PIN code on your bluetooth keyboard and press enter/return

    Hope you found it useful. Please let me know.

    Thanks SuadGlamocic!! It's now Feb 15, 2020 and your 2-year old answer worked perfectly for connecting my old KC1280 BT battery powered keyboard keyboard to my Surface Book running Win10.

    answer to all problems:

    When the screen asking for the pin appears, enter 0000 and click connect. Then type 0000 on the keyboard you want to connect to and press enter on the new keyboard.
