Pass key

I am trying to link my laptop to my mobile and being constantly thwarted by
the need for a pass key. How does my computer get its own pass key? Do I
make one up? What do I do with it and where or how. Help its driving me mad.

Usually it is enough to make one up and use the same passkey for the laptop
and the phone in the pairing process.

Jeremy.

But how do I make the computer know it has to respond with the pass key I
give it.
I know the phone is interrogating the computer but how?

I seem to be getting nowhere fast.
Anyone else got a Sony Ericson K750i ? I am having problems linking to my
laptop and to my inbuilt car system. So far I have had no success.
Yet my previous model T610 worked with no problems.
The only reason I changed was I lost the first phone somewhere in Belgium.
In fact it might even be flying back and forth on Air Italia tucked away in
the overhead luggage system.

In my quest to get this setup -still unsuccessful, I see a message that
Bluetooth licence has expired. Well what licence? This computer is only one
year old and in any case I know nothing of a Bluetooth licence. So what is
this all about? What has to be done apart fro the obvious?

Oh, _that_ "Security Code"... Not a "PIN code" for pairing...
I thought this was a car problem.
The Bluetooth license prompt on a PC may be a driver problem.

"What is the difference between a Pin Code and Security Code?"

There may be a replacement driver, or a number that came with the device.
