MacBook - Bluetooth Connectivity

MacBook 10.6.8 (yes, we of the ancient days . . . ): Attempting to transfer my flip-phone contacts via Bluetooth to my MacBook

- Both Bluetooths are activated
- When the phone makes contact with MacBook, the phone asks for a MacBook PIN -- apparently, numerical
- I don't recall ever using a numerical PIN on my 2006 MacBook -- it has always been a password (numerical/alpha)
- Attempting to use my regular MacBook password results in Bluetooth not recognizing it
- So, no Bluetooth connection to the MacBook

Any information/suggestion(s) about how to successfully facilitate this transfer?

Much appreciated.

In the old days, using 10.6.8, whenever we connected out smartphone to my MAC, the phone would send a PIN to the MAC. We had to input the PIN into the phone before it would connect. I don't know if Apple is still doing this but that could be what it is looking for. Idon't know if that's the procedure for a "Flip" phone, but that's how it worked with a smartphone.
