Okay...I have a really stupid question. I have a Samsung M500 phone (without internet on it), and I have an mp3 ringtone I want to send to it from my desktop. I open bluetooth and my phone's name comes up on the list of nearby devices, and I click establish connection or whatever, and a box comes up asking for the phone's PIN #. I type that in, and on my phone it asks me if I would like to accept the bluetooth connection, so I accept it. But then it asks me for another PIN number, and I can't figure out what to enter there.

Any help would be so awesome!!  Any other way to wirelessly transfer a ringtone would be great as well.

When you pair two devices via bluetooth the PIN number needs to be the same on both devices, so the PIN you enter on phone when setting up bluetooth needs to be the same as the PIN on the computer.

Aslong as you enter the same number in both places you should be ok

I feel like an idiot...I don't think I ever set up bluetooth for either my phone or my computer.  It came with my laptop, and this is the first time I've messed with it.  Where would I go to change the bluetooth settings/PIN number?
