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.

    If you have an eight pin code requirement, entering four characters on both keyboards still will not work.

    For example:

    What follows are steps showing you how to do these varied or incomplete instructions:

    Click "Bluetooth and other devices" in Control Panel; OR Enter "Bluetooth" at the magnifying glass to simply select "Bluetooth and other devices... settings.* "

    Click the Plus Sign (+) "Add Bluetooth or other device."

    Click the appropriate:  "Add device."

    1. When you see the window/field asking you for a pin that you do not know (4 either/or 8 char)
    2. First type X characters into that field using the laptop keyboard:

                            12345678 Enter ()

    1. Secondly X characters using the external Bluetooth keyboard: 

                            12345678 Enter ()

    You're in buddy! 

    Unless your keyboard requires a 4 character pin, then you must go back and enter a four character pin on each keyboard in the sequence above.  For absolute morons like me, I have entered your instructions, particularly if you have had too much caffeine. 

    1. Enter the following in the field that asks for a pin that you do not know (either 4 /or 8 char)**
    2. First type X characters into that field using the laptop keyboard:

                            1234 Enter ()

    1. Secondly X characters using the external Bluetooth keyboard: 

                            1234 Enter ()

    *Unless your keyboard requires that you press and hold down a small reset button that puts the external keyboard into Bluetooth broadcast mode so it can be seen. Then follow the instructions above. 

    **Or try all zeros.
