Bluetooth Question

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

I was trying to use Bluetooth today with a friend. Everytime we tried to
transfer anything it asked for our "Passkey". Now I understand what a
Passkey is, however I do not find where to set it in my PDA. Can someone
tell me.

Thanks

You define your passkey. When it asks for the passkey on the first device
you enter the number of your choice. Then other device will then ask for the
passkey, and you'll repeat the number. This authenticate both devices and
create some information used to encrypt the communications.

This is only different when you pair devices with no input - for example a
headset. In this case most have a default passkey, found in the manual.
