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.

    These solutions were already readily available in other documentation and did not work.  As I stated before "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."

    The device is NOT currently listed as a under "Bluetooth & other devices", so it can't be removed.  However, despite not being listed under Bluetooth & other devices, the devices is being treated by my phone as if it is already paired and is simply asking for the existing PIN.

    There is no default PIN for this device.  As I noted before, when I connected to an Android device, it generated a PIN.  I also attempted to connect the device to my Win10 laptop and it also generated PIN number (see attached image).

    The problem is that I have previously attempted to pair my Win10 mobile device and the pairing process timed out before I was able to enter the PIN.  So it now appears that it is expecting me to type in a PIN that my Win10 phone previously briefly gave me, but for which I do not remember and had no means to record.

    Para resolver este problema com o PIN, vai até o painel de controle, Dispositivos e impressoras, e clica em Adicionar um dispositivo:

    Quando clicar em avançar também vai pedir o Pin, embaixo vai ter um link para digitar no aparelho, é só clicar, digitar e dar enter. 

    Não consegui o print pq já tinha me conectado :(

    Att,

    Bumping this solution up.

    I purchased a folding Bluetooth from from eBay for $5 with no documentation or PIN number and I was not able to link this keyboard to my Lumia 950.

    Using the four steps above (using 0000 as the PIN number), I was able to successfully link the keyboard to the Lumia!  I now have a great mobile solution allowing me to use Word and OneNote with my foldable keyboard, allowing me to leave my laptop behind.

    Thanks so much for the advise.
