Win10 and bluetooth password

[thegerm]

I was using 1.8.7 in Win7 and had no problems connecting my S4 via bluetooth. Now I have upgraded to Win10 and each time I try to Sync, MPE asks me for the phone's password.
I don't know any password for the phone. I tried the defaults of 1234 and 0000, but no luck. I also tried the Wifi password I have set but still no luck.
I have search the phone, but I can't even see where a password would be set.

Any ideas?

thanks

I found the problem.

I don't know if it was MPE requsting the password or Win10, but the password it wanted was my Windows password!!!, even though the message said it was the phone's password.

but the password it wanted was my Windows password!!!

Now, that was not coming from the MPE.

Thanks for letting me know that.
Win10 is also asking for the password every time I sync and I usually do that multiple times per day. This is because I relay on my phone telling me about meetings I have.

An interesting (strange?) addition to this.

I changed the password on my PC (corporate policy) but the when syncing via MPE the password required is the old PC one. !!

But was it changed? Or is it still the same password you entered in the MPE?
The password in the MPE is not changed by itself.

@thegerm
MPE-password : MPE =>File => User => [User/Phone name] => change name/password

Icke,

Thanks for that. I have changed the password now in MPE to one I prefer.

Thanks for your help
