Bluetooth passkey (PIN)
 

ok so I just bought a bluetooth adapter from best buy for my laptop, now it finds my phone fine but when I click connect a window pops up saying "Bluetooth Passkey (PIN):" and I dont know what to enter???

if I enter random numbers (like 0000) my phone asks if if it wants to add my computer to the device list and I click yes and then it pops up with "passcode" then I enter the same thing and it says access denied on the computer end

this is driving me crazy!

what model and brand. A quick google search should yeild a result, or it should say in the owners manual

Re: Bluetooth passkey (PIN)
 

yeah, need model and brand. you should read the manual, it will say in there.

Re: Bluetooth passkey (PIN)
 

try 0000 all mine are that. 2 moto's and a insignia.

Re: Bluetooth passkey (PIN)
 

he said he tried 0000 already. but you can try 1234 or whatever.

Re: Bluetooth passkey (PIN)
 

No he said he entered random numbers LIKE 0000. I had to say it, four 0's is what all mine are. Thanks for the correction.

Sorry its a Kensington Bluetooth USB Micro Adapter, theres no real serial number sorry and the instruction manual is complete garbage it has 0 troubleshooting

Re: Bluetooth passkey (PIN)
 

thanks for the correction. mine are all 0000 also. but for the kensington bluetooth adapter, mine doesn't even need a code and it works. so i'm not sure what's wrong

Re: Bluetooth passkey (PIN)
 

from what i read, you should be able to use just a random number for the first time. IF all else fails take it to Best Buy and have them install for you, could be a return or a defective piece of equipment.

ok so I cant set up a partnership really but if my bluetooth is on on my phone I can right click files and send them to it that way, not exactly the method I was hoping for but it works, I just dont understand why I need a passcode on both ends, seems odd to me
