Re: [Bluez-users] pairing problem - please help

[Robert Brewer <rwb123@gmail.com>]

I'm not sure I ever had an /etc/bluetooth/link_key file. =20
I've got an email into Logitech support to find out more
about it pairing abilities and any reset capability... but
my guess is the best I can do is remove the battery.  I'm
not certain that will clear its memory though.

If I tried to find the PIN and hostname used on the Windows
side would that help?

Thanks for the tips.
