Blue Smirf RP - SMA pin code

I just got my Blue Smirf today and its was a pain to set up mostly because Hyper Terminal wouldn’t work for a while but the problem happened when I did get it to work. I turned the encryption on, renamed it to Blue Smirf, set the baud rate to 9600, and set a pin code. I simply thought that Blue Soleil would prompt me to enter in the pin code when connecting to it and that it would automatically encrypt it. But now Blue Soleil connects but doesn’t ask for a pin code and I don’t think it encrypts the connection; the red light on the smirf is still blinking and when you try to connect to the com port it gives errors. The light should have been green; all of the previous times I used it the light was green when a connection was established.

I am using an older blue tooth dongle, the TBW - 101UB from Trendnet. So I guess my question is how in the world do I connect to it now if its encrypted and requires a pin code which I cannot enter???

If worst comes to worst I guess I will need to do a hardware reset, this can be done by directly connecting the smirf to the pc via a ttl to rs 232 converter but I need some clarification on this.

Thanks for your help in advance, I really appreciate it!

I fixed the problem, it turned out the pin code was never changed for some reason so I went searching for the default code I believe it was 1234 or 0000. I also had to enable encryption and pair the devices before I could actually connect to the serial port which before I hadn’t attempted to pair them first.
