I followed Ipad directions correctly. It is not in the process. Since the bluetooth keyboards works with the Iphone 4 all steps followed correctly. I have tried three different bluetooth keyboards none will pair.
When you type Settings > Bluetooth and turn it on, are there any devices that show up? If so, have you tried clicking the arrow to the right of the device and doing a "Forget this device"?
Then try the pairing while in "Now Discoverable" mode.
I have tried 2 different keyboards with no luck. The newest one pairs with my iphone running the same iOS (6.1.2) with absolutly no trouble. I think it is the ipad 3 which has lousy wifi connectivity compared to my other iDevices. It's basically a dud and makes me wonder why I bought it!

You might find help in these docs
Some keyboards can only be paired to one device ie all other pairings must be cleared
