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 know this thread is old but I was literally just having the same problem. I disconnected it temporarily so Dad could borrow it, afterwards it seemingly refused to reconnect. At first it gave me a PIN to enter but received "no input" when I tried to type it, and after doing that a couple times it just gave me a blank field to enter a PIN without telling me what that PIN was.

    I got this thing at Goodwill, thus no manual. I tried the "0000" thing, tried Device Pairing Wizard, checked my drivers, ran troubleshooter after troubleshooter, rebooted my computer twice, listened to Dad rant about how much he hates Microsoft...

    When I was about to throw in the towel and just go buy a new *USB* keyboard, I found this deep in the bowels of page 3 of Google results. And by golly, it WORKED. Basically you have to enter a PIN on your WORKING keyboard (I'm guessing just any number, I used "0000"), press "connect," and THEN quickly type that same number on your BLUETOOTH keyboard and press "enter." So I guess the reason it doesn't GIVE the PIN is because it's essentially telling you to create your own?

    Hopefully this helps anyone else experiencing this issue!
