    Try accessing the mobile from the laptop, the pin is decided on the device receiving the bluetooth connection. So if the phone is receiving the connection from the computer type in any code you want on the phone and type the same one into the computer.

    It a security thing so you cant connect to another device and take control etc.

    All you have to do is put the same pin into both devices.
    the Laptop you are using to connect will ask you to enter a pin (example 1234) it then tries to connect to the mobile, The mobile then asks for the pin number, all you need to do is enter the same pin (1234) it's just to confirm that the person on the laptop is the same as the person with the mobile :D
